HUMMINGBIRD PADDLE BY SAM BAKER

This paddle, by Coast Salish astist Sam Baker, is carved from yellow cedar and displays deep clean lines.

Hummingbirds are tiny, very active, and extremely fast creatures that can be found along the Northwest Coast; however, they seldom appear within artworks. It is believed that they nest in the hair of Dzunuk’wa and fly around her as she walks through the forest. Dzunuk’wa is a guardian of forest creatures and a protector of Hummingbird.

Hummingbird is recognizable by a long narrow beak, prominent eyes, a small head and short wings. Hummingbird is occasionally portrayed in association with flower imagery.

Price: $315.00 Cdn.
