Made by renowned Haida artist Robert Davidson:

For more than fifty years now, Robert Davidson has worked as an artist and has produced an internationally acclaimed body of work. His work is in several private and public collections, including the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Canadian Museum of History in Hull, Quebec, and the Southwest Museum in Los Angeles. His Haida name is Guud Sans Glans which means "Eagle of the Dawn".

Davidson’s passion for reviving and perpetuating various forms of Haida cultural expression, including song, dance, and ceremony, has fuelled his remarkable output. He was responsible for carving and raising the first totem pole in his hometown of Massett in nearly 90 years when he was just 22 years old. His inspiration was to give his elders a chance to celebrate culture in a way they could not in their lifetimes.
