95. Cannibal Giant - Pearlite Tribal Totem
10" high, made by Pearlite. Black resin, marked 'CANADA' on front and 'Tribal by Pearlite' on side, with monster image on upper base.
Detail of base image and small human figure on 'copper'. Probably based on the tale of the Cannibal Giant who preyed on the Tlingit - Goo-Teekhl. The giant was captured and burned by hunters, but his spirit returned as mosquitoes to continue to feed on them.
