the hand carved "halibut dish" carved by gordon twance from albert bay. Feasting is, of course, very different from every day eating, evidenced in part by the use of elaborately carved feasting dishes to act as containers for the variety and abundance of seasonal foods. Some feasting dishes are the size of small canoes and would accomodate even the most overabundant generosity of any host. This perfect halibut dish would be the highlight of any feast.the dimensions 29 1/2"10" x 2 1/2" signed and titled by the artist gordon twance.
