Feeding the ancestors : Tlingit carved horn spoons / Anne-Marie Victor-Howe ; foreword by Rosita Worl ; photographs by Hillel S. Burger.
"Feeding the Ancestors presents a collection of carved spoons from the Pacific Northwest Coast. Made from mountain goat and Dall sheep horns, the spoons are now at Harvard's Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology. Most were manufactured and used by the Tlingit tribe and collected in Alaska in the late nineteenth century. Color photographs show every nuance of the carvers' artistry."--BOOK JACKET.
