I assume it's Northwest Coast because of the killer whale.
And that is really all I know.
APPRAISER: It is from the Northwest Coast, and it was made by a member f, of the Tlingit tribe, a woman.
And it's got two very significant clan symbols, the frog and the killer whale, the orca.
The one on the top is the double-headed eagle of the Russian Empire.
Now, there is a history of Russian Orthodoxy in this part of the world.
And I'm not sure whether she was part of that or not, or just used it because it was a rather nice symbol.
And you have this sort of vegetation, this foliation around the outside.
And it's got really nice old calico on the inside.
It's a wall pocket, and would have been made probably not for tribal use, but for sale, um, as a tourist item.
It was made about 1880.
GUEST: Really?
APPRAISER: So it's quite early, but the condition is really beautiful.
GUEST: Oh, yes.
APPRAISER: And the beadwork is just lovely on it.
I think a retail value would be $2,500 to $3,000.
GUEST: Ooh!
Marvelous!
APPRAISER: And if you wanted to insure that, I'd insure it for probably about $4,000, $4,500.
GUEST: Thank you.
Wonderful.
