Sun Plaque

Gertrude (Gert) Robertson was born in 1941 in Glendale Cove, which is in the Knight’s Inlet area. Her mother and father were both from Kingcome inlet, but they were in Glendale Cove when Gertrude was born because her father was working in the cannery there at a time. The family would live in Kingcome Inlet during the summer for fishing, Guilford Island being the winter village. She married William Robertson from Kingcome Inlet and Hopetown and they had four children, three boys and a girl. Last heard of Gert Robertson was living in the Port Hardy, BC. 

This is a beautifully crafted sun, meticulously executed with each ray carved individually and securely fastened to the inner medallion. The rays are skillfully cut to project forward, giving the piece an extraordinary and distinctive appearance. Measuring 10 1/2 inches from each outer long ray, this stunning creation showcases remarkable artistry and precision.
