Excellent original rolled condition, on thicker quality fiber stock (see photos). This is a rare opportunity to own a piece or native Canadian history. 24 x36 inches.Please see pictures of 4 minor creases to the side, an almost imperceptible discoloration, and a minor cross impression (the impression is NOT a fold, but rather I believe it just needs to be laid flat) None of these minor faults would show in a frame of your choice. The work of Bill Reid, Haida, a goldsmith turned sculptor, carver and writer, ranges from the most intricate to the monumental -- in wood carving, exquisite silver and gold jewellery, beautiful prints and massive sculptures. Reid was the pivotal force in introducing the great native art traditions of the Northwest Coast to the world. In Canada - free shipping; US = $25; international contact me for a quote.
