Salmon Bowl

Very nicely carved vintage carving with the initials LNB carved on the reverse. We categized it as Artist Unknown, if we find a corresponding initial with the carver's name, we will change the listing, and the price will be reflective of this.

The salmon represents abundance, fertility, prosperity, and renewal. It is considered a life source, essential for the sustenance of both animals and humans. Some Pacific Northwest coast cultures hold the belief that salmon are immortal beings dwelling in underwater villages. According to legend, in spring, these beings don the guise of salmon to sacrifice themselves as nourishment for humans. Often, salmon are portrayed in art as circular pairs, signifying the continuity of life's cycle.
