    Some of the earliest documented argillite carvings were made-for-sale panel pipes featuring nautical scenes on European ships. Often, these stone sculptures illustrated the bustling life aboard these vessels and included a captain, crew, and domesticated animals that were unfamiliar to the Haida. This fragment is an early Haida interpretation of a horse, as indicated by the presence of a long tail, hooves, mane, and pack on its back. Although a fragment, early objects such as this are important documents of how Indigenous peoples perceived settlers and introduced flora and fauna in the mid-19th century.
