Item Details
By Hand
A limited edition serigraph print on paper titled Raven Chief Shimdiget Dem Gunhada by well-listed British Columbia First Nations’ artist Roy Henry Vickers (Canadian Tsimshian, b. 1946), created in 1975.

Vickers, Tsimsian Tribe, Kitkatla B.C.” in pencil to the lower right. It is additionally titled to the lower center, dated to the lower left and numbered as 36 out of an edition of 98.
