Eagle & Bear Canoe - Holiday Drum Ornament

Shotridge Holiday Drum Ornaments are a special and unique holiday gift, great for the holiday tree!

Inspired by the Northwest Coast, this beautiful formline design was created by Tlingit Master Artist Israel Shotridge.

The Eagle is one of the most important beings in art and mythology.  It is respected for its intelligence and power, as well as its extraordinary vision, in both the literal and figurative senses. A most prestigious animal crest, the Bear is one of the most prevalent figures in totemic art as well as myths.  It is a symbol of power and strength among the Native people of the Northwest Coast. This design represents and honors the "Teikweidee" (Bear) Clan in Southeast Alaska to whom the Artist is a member.

3.5" handmade skin drum made of all natural materials. Includes a hangtag with information about the design.
