This decorative wooden box was designed by Clarence A. Wells of Canada and dates to approximately 1970.
It is done in the West Coast Haida style.
The box has silkscreened decoration on all four sides in tones of forest green and red, with black accents. The top is also decorated with a silkscreened panel with stylized birds with the same color palette and is signed on the bottom right corner.
Clarence A. Wells (1950 to present) is a well known Northwest Coast First Nations artist, who has won numerous international awards for his work.
His Haida style paintings are particularly representative of the style, and are often painted onto hand-crafted shaman drums, as well as hand-carved boxes and other household items.
Wells has traveled extensively, lecturing in schools and universities
about Northwest Coast art.
