Title
Moosehead
Description
A handcarved moosehead that is stained and varnished. This piece of art represents a lot of things for the Algonquin tribe. Moose were hunted and used for food, hide, and fur but the artwork is to honor the animals life and the exchange that nature makes for human life. Woodworking is also passed down through family lines. Three photos show a sculpture whose location now is unknown, save for a small piece of wood on one of the antlers.
