This piece is HUGE - the images don't do it justice!

4.7 ft (55") large SALMON - Brian calls it his DEEP BLUE SEA SALMON, inlaid with Abalone, masterfully hand carved by artist Brian Bob from Nanoose Bay.

Truly a special piece - one of the most beautiful pieces I have seen in a while. The carving is exceptional. The gorgeous wood (sitkus spruce) is stained with a dak, intense blue, accentuating the natural grain of the gorgeous, clean wood. As always, Brian's carving lines are so clean and deep - the expression, amazing! It's made and prepared for wall hanging, carved in front, signed at the back, hanger already attached. This is a piece to impress - it clearly makes EVERY room!!!

Measurements: 55" long, 16" high, 1" thick (no overseass shipping available)

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.
