For many years Rabena worked with Robert Davidson as an assistant, helping him create a large canoe and Davidson’s poles for the sculpture garden at Pepsico World Headquarters sculpture garden. Claude Davidson, Robert’s father, adopted Rabena as his son at a potlatch in 1986. Rabena carves masks, boxes, and bowls but is also known for his jewellery, paintings, and prints. Rabena’s Eagle Frontlet is carved and ornamented in the classic Haida style.Provenance
