This stunning vintage black and white Alva Studios Museum Replica of a Haida Indian Carving "Norwestman" statue made in 1974. Beginning in 1949, Alva contracted with museums such as the Louvre to make hundreds of reproductions.
The Boston Sea Captain is dramatically posed and made from a synthetic material called Alvastone or plaster, developed by Alva Studios to simulate bronze, marble, stone, etc. The base of the Sea Captain is signed S1 Copyright (sign) 1974 AMR. The underside is protected with felt and still has the original sticker which reads (it is hard to read due to wear and age) "Authentic Reproductions COPYRIGHTED by Alva Museum Replicas, Inc. Alva Studios, New York, N.Y.". I believe this statue comes from the Egyptian collection in the Louvre.
The original statue is from the early 19th Century:
Haida Indian carving from northwest coast, Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia, Canada. Figurine is possibly made of argillite with an Ivory face. It is identified as a Boston Sea Captain or "Nor'westman."
I do not believe that my statue has an Ivory face, but a synthetic reproduction to make it realistic and match the original. The statue is in good condition, with some chips around the base (which could be touched up).
Measures approx. 16 3/4" tall
Shipping on this item is high due to size and weight of the piece and the delicate nature of the statue, I will not combine shipping of this statue to ensure its safe delivery.
