Haida Argillite Carvings

For many, Haida Art plays an important role in the development of the Pacific Northwest Coast native art styles. There is one distinct difference in Haida Art compared to other West Coast native art cultures, the black slate material called Argillite. This black Argillite is only found on Haida Gwaii ( The Queen Charlotte Islands ) and is carved by many Haida artists.

Argillite Carvings

These carvings often depict a West Coast Native story, mythical spirits, animals, Haida family crests, replicas of totem poles, bentwood boxes, canoes and other carvings, as well as contemporary interpretations. The authentic Haida Argillite Carvings and Sculptures offered in our gallery, are all created by native artists from the Haida Nation. Most of the Haida Artists featured, are living and working on Haida Gwaii ( the Haida name for the Queen Charlotte Islands ) today.

Dear Walter, my hummingbird flew here safe and sound. She is even more beautiful than I imagined. I am glad the artist signed it and will enjoy seeing what else he has made in the future.

I got the ring, it's beautiful! Thanks,
Jean from Nevada, USA

I just wanted to send out a quick thank you, the first ring arrived yesterday, and it is gorgeous!!! I couldn't have imagined how beautiful this ring actually was until I got it. It is absolutely perfect. Take care and again thank you,
Jennifer from Alberta, Canada

Walter, I wanted to let you know that we received our rings this morning. They are absolutely beautiful. We couldn't be happier. What I like is that the thickness (density) of the silver is great. The rings we looked at in Jasper were not as dense as these rings which was worrisome as over the years, they could bend or dent. The artwork is stunning. Have a wonderful day and thank you again,
Meghan from Saskatchewan, Canada

Dear Walter, thank you very very much for sending the bracelet which has meanwhile arrived. It is really a wonderful artwork. Best regards,
Kirsten from Germany
