Description | Terry Horne was born on January 18th, 1982 in Chilliwack, located near Vancouver, British Columbia. He is a member of the Coast Salish Nation and his predominant crest figure is the Sisiutl- Double Headed Sea Serpent. Being from a long line of family carvers and artisans he has always been immersed in his artistic heritage. His father, master carver Francis Horne Sr. and brother Francis Horne Jr. have acted as his primary mentors, instilling cultural heritage, traditions and artistic understanding. At the tender age of 16 years old, Terry began introducing his work publicly and has since emerged to exhibit in various galleries and included within the creative process of monumental works. In October 2005, Terry carved alongside his well known uncle Doug LaFortune creating a 30ft Totem Pole for the Centennial Anniversary of Butchard Gardens. This monumental pole brings back the Native element, using the spiritual cedar tree to reinstate First Nation cultural heritage and tradition. Although his preferred mediums currently remain within the Cedar, Alder and Bass variety of wood, his innate artistic talents are exhibited within his unique works. |

People of the Eagle Frontlet
Barry Scow
CA$2,450.00Yellow Cedar wood, Acrylic paint
Includes stand
“People of the Eagle” Frontlet, masterfully carved and painted by Kwakwaka’wakw artist Barry Scow, represents the Chief and his people of the Eagle clan. True to form of Barry’s fine carving, this frontlet portrays the Eagle with Sun, and commemorates Barry’s link to his Grandfather, who was a Chief, and to his heritage.
A Frontlet is a forehead mask attached to a woven headpiece, worn only by Chiefs and high-ranking individuals in order to display status. This particular frontlet carries the Eagle and Sun motif. The Eagle position belonged to the highest-ranking Chief in the village.
The Eagle lives in the sky, or Upper World, and represents status, power, peace and friendship. Eagle is the Chief of the birds, an honor he shares with the Woodpecker. The Sun is a popular Kwakwaka’wakw motif, used quite regularly in their art. The sun can represent life and creative forces as well as warmth and healing.
To further establish his high position, the Chief practiced a traditional act of discarding his wealth in front of other Chiefs. Much of this wealth was in the form of copper. To break the copper or throw it into the ocean, symbolized that he and his clan were modest of their wealth and that the value of friendship weighed more than the value of material wealth.
To assist the Chief with this historical display of modesty, a subordinate was appointed. The assistant is portrayed below the beak of the Eagle, carved in intricate detail, as one can see in the teeth and tongue of the human face. Another beautiful component of this piece are the Chief’s people, delicately cradled in the beak of the Eagle.
