<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 4520435, member: 55&quot;]Right - the weavings require compromises which would not be acceptable in wood carvings, and also include a number of conventions not found in carvings.</p><p>For example, the round circles in the Chilkat weaving are said to represent the ends of gambling sticks (imagine them as piercing the weaving vertically) and thus are a sign of wealth; would not apply to a circle in a wood carving.&nbsp; Good general article on Chilkat weavings, which have a fascinating history: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilkat_weaving" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilkat_weaving" rel="nofollow">Chilkat weaving - Wikipedia</a></p><p>For anyone interested in learning more about Northwest Coast Native art in general, I&#039;d highly recommend as an introduction Hilary Stewart&#039;s &quot;Looking at Indian Art of the Northwest Coast,&quot; and slightly more technical, but a classic, Bill Holm&#039;s &quot;Northwest Coast Indian Art: An Analysis of Form.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
