Erik Sappier Chip-carved Talking Stick

This talking stick is finely carved; it depicts a man wearing a traditional Wabanaki headdress, with feathers pointing straight up. The chip-carving is of the finest order, beautifully and meticulously detailed. The strong contrast in the paint colors makes this stick stand out.

The figure also features a necklace and stars on its neck and chest. The artist left the bark on the wood around the face and on the reverse side, for additional interesting texture.

9 1/4 inches tall x approximately 3/4 inch diameter.
