"Compass
Raven (cedar-bark paper)"
The Compass Raven was originally drawn by the artist’s grandmother, Frances L.
Paul, for a map of
Southeast Alaska which she also drew to go with a manuscript called
The Alaskan Tlingit, Where Did We Come From? In Tlingit society there
are two clans; the Raven clan and the Wolf/Eagle clan. Every person belongs
to the clan of their mother, either Raven clan or the Wolf/Eagle clan. Each
clan owns certain crests which they obtained through battle or through
association with a particular legend or event. A tribe is a group of people
who have banded together for the sake of government and includes both clans
among the Tlingit speaking people...(more
on this piece). Silk screen print, edition of 49 on cedar-bark paper.

"Frog"
Print of Frog, based on a
drawing by the artist’s grandmother, Frances L. Paul, who sketched it from a
design she saw on a woven Spruce root hat. “She was continually drawing
every piece of artwork she saw because she observed the loss of so many of
our precious artifacts in Southeast Alaska,” said the artist Ben Paul. “She
was particularly interested in frogs because it was the crest on her
mother-in-law's, Tillie Paul Tamaree, button blanket. Tillie was Teehiton,
the cedar bark house people,
Wrangell,
Alaska.”
Silk screen print, edition of 106. 7x7 inch image on 11x11 inch
Stonehenge paper. $55.00 (unframed).

Alaska. The Keet-kuh-waal board also belongs to that tribe of the
Tlingit...(more on this piece).

"Raven Tinnah"
Silk screen print on cedar
bark paper. Portrait
of Raven Tinnah, the symbol of wealth among the Tlingit. They were
made of copper and painted with the crest of the owner. They were sometimes
cut into pieces and given away at potlatches to demonstrate the wealth of
the host. Battles of wealth were fought by destroying the copper shields. If
an opposing chief could not match the challenger shield for shield then he
was humiliated.
Only artist's proofs
available at this time. 8x12 inch image on 12x18inch paper.
