Haida Bowl

Haida Bowl refers to traditional carved wooden bowls created by the Haida people of the Pacific Northwest Coast, particularly from Haida Gwaii (formerly the Queen Charlotte Islands) in present-day British Columbia, Canada. These ceremonial and utilitarian vessels are masterworks of Indigenous craftsmanship, often carved from alder or cedar and featuring intricate formline designs depicting ancestral beings, clan crests, and supernatural creatures. Highly prized by collectors and institutions, Haida bowls regularly appear at major auction houses including Sotheby's, Christie's, and Bonhams, where they can command prices ranging from thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
