The feast bowl features a wonderfully and professionally carved cedar feast bowl that shows the eagle or Txaam traditionally decorated in tribal patterns with a white body, and red and black decoration, the totem side of the feast bowl shows the eagle or Txaam with a fish in its mouth and shows the curved beak traditionally seen on totems that include this aspect. There is a large basin for feast storage in the center and shows the turned around head commonly seen with these eagle feast bowls. The Haida eagle or Txaam totem or spirit is known as "The master of skies". It is a symbol of great significance to the Haida people and is included in clan crests and for identification of clan membership, and is said to provide vision and insight with power and grace and allows people to connect with the creator. The condition of this Haida feast bowl is well preserved with slight wear to the paint and the wooden structure of the feast bowl but otherwise shows a well preserved condition for its age.
