Haida manga watercolour and ink painting. The painting is comprised of 18 separate, multi-coloured, story panels. Each panel shows several scenes in the story, in order, starting at the upper left corner. When all the panels are hung together in a rectangular configuration (6 panels wide x 3 high) they also form a larger image, united by a thick, black, painted line. (From the upper left corner of the image, l-r: parts a-f; middle row, l-r: parts g-l; lower row, l-r: parts m-r.) The artist signed each panel on the back and sketched out where it fits in the configuration.

Signed in the bottom right corner.
