Salmon, ceremonial Dance Paddle, 37" by Laurence Scow - SOLD

Truly beautiful and authentic piece of Indigenous Art, coming direct from the artist. Thank you, Laurence!

Kwakiutl SAMON DANCE PADDLE by Laurence Scow from the Kwakiulth First Nation on Vancouver Island, BC, Pacific's Northwest Coast. 

Have a look at the incredibly detailed carving. This really is fantastic quality! Precise carving lines, lots of them... powerful painting in vibrant choice of color. Laurence shows off the beautiful piece of red cedar.

These dance paddles are usually used in ceremonies. I'm enclosing an example picture that shows you, how they are used.

At the back of the paddle it shows the artist’s signature. It's easy recognizable as one of Laurence's pieces of art carvings, he always puts some extra love into it, you can clearly see it.

Measurements: 37" x 4" x 1/2" 

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. As sustenance and nourishment, Salmon is often viewed in connection to regeneration, health, and life. The salmon is regarded as a sacred and highly respected creature embodying resilience, abundance, and the cycle of life.
