This is an extraordinarily rare old-growth red cedar masterpiece, aptly named "The Whale Rider," depicting a man perched atop a furious killer whale in a dramatic struggle as the whale attempts to throw him off. The sculpture features a newer base and spear, skillfully added to replace the originals lost to time, enhancing its presence without detracting from its rich history. A truly striking work of art, it commands admiration for its intricate detail, powerful imagery, and the sense of movement and tension captured within the timeless beauty of the cedar.
The sculpture measures 28" in total height, with the body measuring 3.5" by 3.5".
