47" almost 4 ft. LARGE SALMON wall art carving

by master artist Alfred Robertson from Kingcome Inlet in British Columbia, a member of the Kwakiulth First Nation with over 40 years of experience in carving. His work is always so precise and detailed, it's just amazing. I particularly love the grain on this salmon, it just adds to it so much and the stain he added, doesn't cover it fully - it still shows and looks beautiful. 

Measurements: 47" x 11" x 2" (120 x 28 x 5 cm)

Meaning: The Salmon symbolizes prosperity, renewal and fertility. They are one of the most important and highest respected animals of all since they have been the primary food source from the beginning of time to the Northwest Coast First Nations.
