THE TRANSFORMING IMAGE: PAINTED ARTS OF NORTHWEST COAST FIRST NATIONS. MCLENNAN, BILL AND KAREN DUFFEK, 2000, Publisher: UBC PRESS. VANCOUVER/TORONTO
This bentwood corner bowl was made by the distinctly Northwest Coast process called kerfing. A single plank of wood is first trimmed, notched , steamed and bent. The bottom and sides were then pegged or sewn together with tree root. Finally the bowl is decorated with carving, painting and adding operculum shell trims. The large bowl would have been used for dried food. The abstracted design on the sides represents a killer whale.
