| Trestle Table | cherry, yellow cedar, 72"Lx36"Wx28"H | |
|
Portraying a dream, this Scandinavian style trestle tables top contains carved figures in Scandinavian and Northwest Coast native style. On top of the Lion is a Raven, the trickster. The tail of the Lion goes into the stomach of a dragon-like creature, similar tothose on the Oseberg ship. The tail of the dragon goes into the mouth of a Whale that is breaching. The silver inlay is water coming out of the Whaless blowhole. The Bear has
both animal and human shape. Its foot is in the mouth of a ram,
the style which is from Norwegian stave churches. One foot of the
ram goes into the mouth of a Dolphin. I call this piece
"Tongues Across the Bering Sea". |
