Raven’s Tail 
VIEW DETAILS
Front Cover


  Over 200 years ago, when Europeans first visited the Northwest Coast of North America, the weavers were making robes of exquisite beauty to adorn the wealthiest of their noble class. Patterned bold black and white designs streaked with dashes of yellow, these robes predate the better known Chilkat Blankets. Today only 11 robes exist, three of them as fragments. Expert weaver Cheryl Samuel has travelled to museums in Leningrad, Copenhagen, London, Canada and the US to study and examine these robes. Here she presents historical data on the robes, analyzes the materials used and reconstructs a long-forgotten weaving style.
