NW Coast Knife 10

replica of Keet Gwalaa (Killer Whale Dagger) made by Harold Jacobs (A Tlingit and Cultural Resource Specialist with Central Council Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska) with the help of master carver Steve Brown (Assistant Curator of Native American art at the Seattle Art Museum) who carved the die used to cast the hilt in 1985. I believe this repro was made to replace the original dagger in the Penn Museum collection after Harold succeeded in getting the museum to return it to the tribe. Height: 65cm
Width: 11.4cm, Univ of Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology and Anthropology
