    An extremely striking piece of art with  inlayed abalone shells around eyes. The pictures don't do it justice. It has a very powerful presence !!!!
    Russell Tate is from the Ditidaht First Nation on the southwest coast of Vancouver Island. He started carving in 2004, artists such as Art Thompson and the artists on the Ravens and Eagles show inspired him. Russell learned how to wood carved mostly working on his own. He specializes in masks and paddles, but is now working on small poles and miniatures for regalia. Russell has worked with Ben David and Cecil Dawson, and has collaborated on several pieces with Cecil.
