Original Carved Alderwood Haida Dancer
$750.00









 

The hands, feet, and face of this beautiful piece are carved from alderwood.  The wood pieces are attached to the soft body that has a wire frame so she can be posed.
Her blanket, apron, and moccasins are made from soft wool flannel and ultra suede.
The face, hands, and feet are hand carved alderwood, by myself, Carol Young
Her hair is made from shredded cedar bark.
Her headband is woven from split cedar bark with an abalone head piece.

This button blanket is hand sewn and took over 25 hours to make.  The whale design was created by Captain Gold, Haida of the Na7ikun Qiigawaay Raven's Village and reproduced by myself, Carol Young.
Hundreds of glass pearl beads outline the whale crest design.

Over a hundred very small mother of pearl antique buttons outline the blanket and apron.  These small mother of pearl buttons are very hard to find, and have taken me years to collect. 
Each strand of the wool fringe on the blanket was hand sewn.
She has little hand made moccasins with a glass pearl bead design.
She stands 11 1/2 inches tall
This handcarved wooden character  comes signed, dated,  with a certificate of authenticity and proof of my tribe membership and status.    

My art has sold worldwide and is many art collections.

Howa, Carol Young, Bagshaw
