| Summary: | Haida interior house posts carved by Charles Edenshaw. Displayed here at the Arts of the Raven exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery. In the background are a pair of Tlingit interior screens known as the Raven screens, which are now in the collection of the Denver Art Museum. The screens depict Raven in four views and probably formed the side elements of a partition placed near the rear wall of a lineage house. Emmons and de Laguna identify the house they belonged to as an old L'uknax.a'di Raven clan house. Norman Feder notes that the screens, dating from around 1825, may have originally came from Lituya Bay, Alaska. |
