Trophy Pendant
Lyle Wilson
CA$1,700.001976 Montreal Olympiad $5 Dollar Silver Coin, Deeply Sculpted, Engraved, Textured
2014“This pendant is an example of the traditional Pacific Northwest Coast formline style being adapted to show a relatively modern event. About 30 years ago, my uncle G’psgolox (Dan Paul Sr.) took me to visit some Tsimshian relatives at their fishing camp, which was located way out, and close to the open ocean. G’psgolox stayed in his bigger boat while a Tsimshian friend took me trolling in a small boat. Using a rod and reel, we hooked the biggest spring salmon that I’ve ever caught – over 40 pounds. The size of that salmon has remained in my mind ever since and so I memorialized that event in this silver coin.
The silver coin is thicker than standard silver stock, so it allows me to carve extra deep to give a sculptural look to the pendant. The pendant’s back is left as is to show its beginnings as a coin.”

Wasgo, Beaver and Dogfish Box
Gryn White
CA$3,700.00Argillite, Abalone ShellRevered as a great hunter, the Sea Wolf (Wasgo) was often associated with a special spirit power that man had to acquire to become a successful hunter.
Beavers are creative, artistic, determined, and industrious. They generally keep to themselves, but when they do decide to speak, they give wise advice so it is best to listen.
The Dogfish is an important and high-ranking crest figure amongst the matriarchs with the Haida Nation. It is an image most commonly depicted by Haida, Tlingit, Tsimshian and Nisga’a artisans, especially applied to utilitarian objects.
