Description

Killer Whale Panel
red cedar, acrylic pigment
60"h x 22"w x 1.25"d

This finely carved red cedar panel is by Israel Shotridge. A member of the Teikweidee Brown Bear Clan of the Taantakwan Tongass Tribe, Ketchikan, Alaska, Israel is known for his original Northwest Coast formline designs, at times incorporating them into beautiful wood carvings.

This depiction of a Killer Whale may pay homage to Israel's father’s clan – the Kaawaantann people. His use of NWC formline can been seen in the carved and painted body, dorsal fin and faces combined to create this masterful work. A floral design depicts the water coming from the spout of the whale.

This wonderful work, created in 2006, is a rare find. The panel comes with a stand or it may be hung on the wall.
