das ist ein wunderschönes Kunstwerk

Wow, that's really wonderful work. Beautiful color and light too.

Very nice craftsmanship!

une prise de vue superbe avec un jeu d'ombres; l'objet est lui-même magnifique ; excellent choix

O have a knife made by a member of the Canadian First Nations. It also has the head of an eagle beautifully carved. Unfortunately it's made of steel and isn't looking as good as this.

Beautiful artwork! The shadows, especially the diagonal ones, give it an extra twist.

...well captured in great light. And a fine piece of art

very nice decorative item and the way you used shadows is cool.

A very interesting work perfectly side enlightened, great shot.

A very nice piece of Art, Pappy !!! Pretty well photographed ! Love the shadow !

A fine artwork !

Not only do I love the item, but I love how you presented it, Pappy!

beautiful carving, eskimo or indian art?, I think indian.
I do have some books of graphical eskimo art, I love them.

The style is Haida and is a popular export of the west of Canada. Because it is so popular it has also been appropriated beyond the bounds of its originators.

In Canada, the term Eskimo is no longer used to describe northern aboriginal peoples. We use the indigenous word Inuit (the people) to refer to those First Nations people. We have also, for the most part, given up on the term Indian and respectfully refer to them collectively as First Nations or by the name corresponding to their historical roots. (Haida, Cree, Mohawk, Ojibwa, etc.)
