Description | Haida Nation Myles Edgars was born in 1958 in Queen Charlotte City in Old Massett on the Haida Gwaii Islands to parents Jimmy and Minnie Edgars. He was inspired by family members growing up, and began carving from the young age of thirteen. Primarily influenced and mentored by his brother in law, Steven Collinson, Myles specializes in carving indigenous figures in Argillite. Myles has a deep understanding of his family stories and mythologies, and enjoys depicting them in small to large scale pendants. He preserves his family traditions by creating these contemporary works that speak to his cultural history and practices. |

Goat Horn Ladle
Elsie John
CA$2,375.00Goat Horn, engraved, with Yellow Cedar wood baseSpoons and ladles were traditionally made from either cedar wood or the horn of a mountain sheep, and their handles were carved with family crest images. Historically, these exquisitely sculptured objects were primarily created by people in Northern Nations, and were highly sought after by other nations. During potlatches [festive gatherings], cedar ladles decorated with the hosting family’s crests were used to serve food, while the elaborately carved mountain sheep spoons were distributed as gifts among the many guests.
Today, spoon and ladle productions are based on these traditional objects and are meant to be both objects of function and display. In addition to traditional mediums such as cedar wood, goat or mountain sheep horn, many modern-day spoons and ladles are constructed of gold, silver and pewter.
