Two signed original artworks by Laura Bethke, titled "Northwest Indian Hummingbird" and "NW Indian Style Thunderbird". Bright green, orange, blue and purple bird designs have raised gold-colored outlines against textured, fiber-rich handmade-paper backgrounds mounted to board. The works use Northwest Coast-inspired imagery; no Indigenous artist affiliation is documented. Both are unframed and show edge and corner wear, small scuffs and discoloration. The larger board's reverse has extensive torn or missing surface paper; the smaller has a pencil bird outline and notes on its reverse. Artist information is included. The larger work measures approximately 20 inches wide by 16 inches high overall.
