Octopus Panel Haisla

Octopus Panel HaislaThis panel Shaman's Apprentice is hand carved in red cedar by Tlingit, Tutchone, and Tsimshian artist Kiri Geen. The panel features 36 inlays of abalone shell, each attached by thread and glass beads, showcasing Kiri's beading skill. Each abalone shell is further integrated into the carving by the addition of an iridescent, hand painted border matching the colour and pattern of each shell.
