Wasco is the Haida legendary Seawolf of Haida Gwaii and is often portrayed with killer whales as he is known for this type of hunt. Frog feet hold the Wasco box and killer whale and wolf protrude from either end. Killer whale and Wasco are carved deep into the sides. The powerful and almighty gold Wasco is fiercely portrayed with two killer whales jumping thru his fins.
