| Description | The Haida placed a lot of reverence to the beaver. This elaborate wooden model depicts a beaver. You see this animal in many pieces of Haida art. This particular sculpture is calleda 'manda'. Such large sculptures were made to support the burial box of important chiefs. Once the corpse was placed on its funerary mortuary pole, the manda was placed at the base of the totem pole. (Ottawa, Canada, Dec. 2012) |
