[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 3794163, member: 55"]I'd guess that by "from Oregon" he really means "from the Northwest Coast." So far as I know, there are no manufacturers of Northwest Coast style items in Oregon; and Oregon is outside the area where any of the relevant tribal groups are located. There are some NW Coast Native art galleries in Portland, so I suppose it could be possible that one of them collaborated in issuing this; but I'd think it pretty unlikely; the galleries I'm thinking of would be more likely to issue NW Coast prints. But unless we find the exact item with a reliable attribution of the manufacturer, there's not much point in debating; it is for sure a cast item in the Northwest Coast Native style, manufacturer unknown at this time. And it stands on its own merits; it is what we see in the last (excellent!) photos.[/QUOTE]
