A rare fine old Northwest Coast Haida or Tlingit Indian 19th Century hand carved and painted ceremonial dance paddle . The paddle is expertly painted in classic Northwest Coast formline design in red, black and blue green pigments and features a zoomorphic imagery of a wolf head and possibly a Raven. These early paddles quite often had abstract patterns that only the owners could decipher to which crest they belonged . The blue green pigment has oxidized slightly over its long life which is completely normal occurrence as the early copper based pigments were not always stable. The paddle measures 18\" long x 3 1/4\" across the blade and is in fine original condition. These types of paddles were gifted and used in potlatch ceremonies . The guests would beat time with their paddles on the seat benches and wood floors. This fine paddle is of museum quality and is being sold with so good luck and happy offerding. The paddle makes a great display item and a fine addition to anyone\'s collection.
