Artist Mike Webber's raven grease bowl, standing at 15 inches long, eight inches wide and seven inches tall, is made from yellow cedar for Larry and Brenda Fulton. "Meat or fish in the old days needed to be dried to 100% so it would not spoil. You would then dip the fish or meat into the grease bowl to moisten and flavor it," Webber said. "The wings have an ovoid that represents movement of the wings. Inside the ovoid is a profile of a human with u-shapes and split u-shapes that would represent feathers. I always incorporate humans in animal carvings or vice versa, as we use their spirit and motifs in our regalia." (Photo by Loren Banks)
