Susan A. Point, the best-known contemporary Coast Salish female artist, engraves a silver bracelet, precision work that requires steady hands. The work platform can be moved in any direction.

This silver bracelet, depicting Raven Yel with the Sun, is attributed to an anonymous Tsimshian artist. (5 cm, MOA)

In 1972 Bill Reid created this silver killer whale on an argillite stand, copying his own 1970 masterpiece, which he had worked in gold for the traveling exhibit «The Legacy». The shape was created by means of the «lost-wax» method. (6 cm, NMM)
