Small wooden canoe carving made from a fragment of a much older canoe from Kitamaat Village. The piece is roughly rectangular, with one end more pointed than the other. The wood is around 2.5 cm thick at the far ends of the fragment, and has been carved or sanded down in the middle so that the canoe 'emerges' from it.
