Two Northwest Coast-style wooden carvings, led by a Thunderbird composition signed Arthur Johnson and labeled “Tlingit.” The large bird spreads its wings above stacked bear and human-like figures, giving the approximately 18"-wide carving a broad, graphic silhouette. A smaller eagle with folded wings stands on a square base. Johnson carving approximately 18" wide x 3.5" deep x 18.25" high.
