A Very Rare and Early Northwest Coast Maternity Figure
Located in London, GB
A Very Rare and Early Northwest Coast Maternity Figure Aged patina through handling Wood Kwakiutl (Kwakwaka ‘wakw’) Northwest Coast America / Nootka 19th Century SIZE: 20cm high - 8 ins high PROVENANCE: Adam Prout, UK Ex Private collection The elegant seated female figure holds her baby upon her knees, cradling the suckling infant’s head. The female figure displays a very distinctive ‘conical’ shaped hair-style, although the domed forehead, which was flattened artificially, was practiced by the Kosimo (Salish). The Kwakiutl are one of several indigenous First Nations that inhabit the western coast of British Columbia, Canada, from central and northern Vancouver Island to the adjacent mainland coast. The Kwakwaka'wakw, or ‘Kwak´wala-speaking people’, live along the Pacific Northwest coast of British Columbia. The tribes once numbered twenty-eighty, who lived on northern Vancouver Island and the adjacent mainland. They are known for the ‘potlatch’ ceremony which in Kwak'waka literally means ‘to give’. The ceremony marks all the important moments in the life of the Kwakwaka’wakw: birth, marriage and death in particular. It is a jubilant celebration organised by the chief of a tribe or a host, during which offerings are offered, masks exhibited and dances staged. Much of our early knowledge about the Kwakiutl is attributed to Franz Boas...
