Northwest Coast Artifacts
These photos were taken at Inside Passage Arts Gallery in Skagway, owned by Terry Williams, in 2005. I thought these artifacts were pretty interesting and the photos might become a good reference. Unfortunately I did not place a size reference item in the photo but if you look at the panoramas, I think the items are about 2 times real size.

beautiful collection! thanks for sharing.
I make trade bead necklaces using fragments of these very same artifacts that Eskimo kids pick up off the beach and sell to me. I love them! So many stories with each of the pieces: harpoon valves, fish spears, handles, sled runners, toggles, fish lures, jigs and other broken and discarded tools. All handmade mostly of walrus ivory.
Check out my necklaces numbers 27 thru 33 to see some of these fossil fragments on necklaces!
Yes I checked those out and are pretty nice. Great photos too!
