<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 4313378, member: 55&quot;]I wouldn&#039;t think so.&nbsp; Northwest Coast bowls are not used for or as offerings, but for food or for grease, eaten in various ceremonies. And now of course, simply for sale.&nbsp; Boma, now Panabo sales, was founded in 1965 by a Hungarian immigrant to Canada, Boris Magreb; and the majority of their designs were and are not copies of native work, but interpretations of native styles, generally done by non-natives; so not to be trusted as examples of what native work might look like. More recently they have commissioned native artists to design a variety of items; but older items were more generic &quot;in the style.&quot;</p><p>OP&#039;s bowl is what it is, a cute bowl in native style; might actually be native-made, but might well not be; and being unsigned, it may not really be worth speculating, unless someone (Komo?) can find a signed example by the same carver.</p><p>I&#039;m not putting it down; I just like to talk about native carvings and art. Sorry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
