This illustration is for the Cheltenham Illustration Awards 2012. The theme of the competition is 'Tales of Magical Objects' and the brief was to create an illustration based on objects in the Amulets and Charms collection at the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford.
My entry was inspired by the Haida Salmon. It is a painted wooden carving of a salmon which was used by the Haida people in ceremonies when salmon was scarce in the rivers. The Haida people are from Haida Gwaii, an archipelago off the coast of British Colombia, Canada. I have included a Haida chief in traditional dress, and some Haida style art details.
