The sisiutl is a legendary supernatural being known to possess great power. The sisiutl is represented in the ceremonial halls in the forms of large scale feast dishes and sculpted panels and has been interpreted in the modern art form in prints and paintings. A large Sisuitl bowl on wheels is prominently displayed in the great hall of the UBC Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver.
