Tsimshian Rattle

Tsimshian Rattle refers to ceremonial rattles created by the Tsimshian people, an Indigenous nation of the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America. These objects are highly regarded as fine art and cultural artifacts, often featuring carved and painted zoomorphic figures such as ravens, frogs, and supernatural beings, crafted from wood with exceptional skill. They appear regularly at major auction houses including Sotheby's, Christie's, and Bonhams as examples of Northwest Coast Indigenous art.
