4' 3D Kwak'waka'wakw Canoe Panel

The canoe has two human faces carved on it and the bow is an eagle head.  There are 3 paddlers - a Raven with a butterfly on his beak, and an Eagle and a Wolf.  A Baby Eagle sits on the stern facing backwards.  The Wolf and the Eagles have crystals jutting out of their foreheads.  Sitting on the bow is a box representing a bentwood box.  It's carved on the top, the sides and ends, the bottom, and the inside of the lid - a wolf, ravens, eagles, an eagle dancer, a hand, a salmon, a waterbird.  Inside the box is a tiny rattle.
