SALMON, inlaid with 2 pieces of Abalone, by master artist Silas Coon from the Kwakiulth (Kwakwaka'wakw) First Nations

Wall art carving. Carved it it such great detail, then stained the wood in a dark brown which accentuates the natural grain of the wood. Once that was finished, he started painting in his favourite copper color - and it's a great choice. It just makes the presence of it even more powerful and outstanding.
