[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 267306, member: 1136"]Im starting to see trends through this house. Each room seems to have an overall "theme", but each room still has a lot of everything in it. I was researching the woman who previously owned the stuff. She was a high end antique dealer who had a popular shop in Atlanta. Everything in this house are items that don't seem to sell particularly well out there. Both her and her husband were dealers, she's a 3rd generation dealer. I know she went to places and bought things, I saw somewhere shed gone up to new york and bought items so I don't see it out of her realm going NW and buying items, or even have inherited them.. Anyways, I got pictures of a few items and have been trying to study them.. I believe these specific items are tlingit. I'm open to suggestions, comments, critique.. Please, dont hold back! I think this is a tlingit killer whale dagger. The eyes i believe are mother of pearl [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/58/f1/8e/58f18eb2dc02e0efed98233a7ab8c64f.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/7e/c6/a0/7ec6a07074867bf133cce4931d5be6fd.jpg[/IMG] Wooden Bowl. Its larger, the walls are thinner [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/2b/1e/f7/2b1ef73260e2b0face0e7aed63b5fa11.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/3b/8f/f6/3b8ff60c35ef7d710513e8d60d646206.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/3c/b7/ac/3cb7acbbeb303bc3fc96ad21248b3277.jpg[/IMG] Totem Poles In this picture there appears to be another totem like carving behind it. The house is so dark I didn't even notice it until looking back at the pictures. It looks as though the mouths of the carving in the back are inlaid with coffee bean shells to create the mouth I also believe this is covered in a powdery mold/ mildew. You can almost taste it in your mouth :confused: It's weird, done things are perfectly fine, other singular objects are insanely covered. Any tips on properly cleaning this is welcomed! lol [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/36/aa/21/36aa2105e488b6a3006805d69be174da.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/9c/7f/a5/9c7fa55fae8341f30502516448722347.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/c1/33/f7/c133f70115957c3b3fbae48677974a41.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/d2/d8/e8/d2d8e82bb1e5f3001f9e725cfeb26cad.jpg[/IMG] Spears Im not sure about these.. They are in the room with the whale dagger and the wall hanging totem. I read the Tlinget Indians used spears so I'm going out on a limb here [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b3/2d/d9/b32dd9f3272ae0631dc64dbb0a8f43e6.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4d/f2/33/4df2334b017f4b1284164eb0e4fa473a.jpg[/IMG] Im not sure why these are coming up sideways. My Pinterest account is bringing them up as upright. I apologize. But any help/suggestions/guidance on these items is greatly appreciated![/QUOTE]
