First Nations Killer Whale Spirit Box
Sculpted by West Coast artist Thomas McPhee, these beautiful boxes are made from crushed marble and undergo multiple polishing and highlighting steps to develop the uniquely rich and warm finish. The Killer Whale is the lord of the oceans, a symbol of long life. It is believed that great chiefs turn into killer whales when they pass on into the nether world. This illustrates the close link between man and Whale.
Canadian made.

Native Pewter Moon Cribbage Board
This board is made of bound reclaimed materials, crushed black marble, and in collaboration with artist Mark Garfield.

His work reflects a contemporary approach to traditional northwest coast art influences which have shaped his carving style. His work is held in private and corporate collections around the world.
