This is a Salish carved paddle at 54 inches. Signed "E. TIENN" at the top. Construction is likely dark western cedar. A carved pattern of an animal or human figure is repeated four times throughout and likely a family identity. Interestingly, when viewed from the opposite direction there appears to be a woman figure. Not believed to be a ceremonial object but an art object depicting a family history. Condition is very good with a minor chip mid-length. Please see photo for details.
