[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 10595478, member: 76316"]G'Day, Mates! I thought of posting this in Tribal...but in spite of it obviously being [I]influenced[/I] by NW art, it probably has no direct tribal affiliation...save [I]perhaps[/I] by bloodline in the artisan. It is unsigned, unmarked. 12" X 48" X 1 3/4" was the raw plank; it's been cut to ~5/8", shown at the borders an' uniformly throughout the panel...that's ~1 1/8" of relief. It's been in the weather awhile, so is bone dry, an' very slightly cupped into the face along its length. The face has been stained black, which has suffered fading. It looks to me like OG western Red Cedar, bicbw. I can't detect any theme or recognizable pattern in the carving...but hope some of you may see in it what I cannot. All your comments are welcome...Thanks for lookin'!
