Chilkat RobeA17007

Chilkat style robe with woven designs and long fringe. The design is a three panel distributive. In the centre are two ancestor faces surrounded by a diving whale(?) motif. The side panels have ancestors faces in profile and a raven motif. The design is yellow, blue and black on natural ground. The two bottom corners have two rectangles with zigzags in black and yellow, associated with the identity of the weaver. There is long twisted fringe, on three sides, of mixed wool and cedar bark. On the top edge are two red flannel tabs with buttons and buttonholes for securing the robe around the neck.
