Lately, I've been curious about Abnaki styled paddles with their intricate incised scroll and floral carved patterns (like the
c.1878 Maliseet posted earlier and my own
1849 Passamaquoddy Replica). Information on these glorious designs has been really hard to come by, but I managed to find a few beautiful pics with clear images of this elegant style of paddle decoration courtesy of the
American Museum of Natural History outstanding Native American collection.
