Raven's Tail Robe2004-2/417

In the Spirit of the Ancestors-This robe was worn by Haida artist Reg Davidson at a potlatch he hosted in Old Massett, B.C. in February 2002. The designs on the central panel are called tattoo designs, after a traditional pattern that was tattooed onto the backs of Tlingit noble women's hands. Davidson's robe was inspired by an old robe documented in a sketch made by Pavel Mikhailov on a voyage to the Northwest Coast in 1827.
