Composite photo of the raven hat, gallery label, and supplementary interpretive signage in the museum display case: “RAVEN HAT Tlingit, early to mid 1800s This raven crest hat probably belonged to a clan that owned the right to display Raven in this guise accompanied by story and song. The basketry rings may refer to the number of times that the hat was publicly displayed and validated as a crest object. Since the rings are woven as a single piece, at some point the number was set and no more were added. Unidentified wood, Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis), mineral paints, abalone shell (Haliotis sp.), commercial cotton, unidentified adhesive, laundry blueing, tanned hide, iron 3178-60 & 3178-1236” “Raven and Eagle Tlingit society is divided into two halves, or moieties, named the Ravens and the Eagles. Every Tlingit person belongs to one side or the other. Within each moiety, there are many clans. When introducing themselves, Tlingit individuals identify their moiety and clan. We're very clanish people. We are proud of who we are, like I'm a Raven, says Isabella Brady (1992). Other Northwest Coast cultures have similar and equally complex social structures, some with two divisions and some with more. Each clan has rights to its own designs, songs, stories, and more.” “Raven also moves between the creature and human worlds, bestowing gifts yet playing tricks on humans in an extensive series of stories. He has a dual personality. As a culture hero and transformer, Raven is credited with shaping much of our world. As a trickster, he is driven to outlandish adventures by his selfishness, greed, and hunger.”

photo of the painting in gold frame on blue wall on display at museum

closeup of the raven’s head

gallery sign: Jamie Wyeth (b. 1946) The Raven, 1980 Oil on canvas Purchased with Museum funds, 1992 "I was alone for two months when I was doing [The Raven], and I got this whole thing of, 'Is it alive with me, in the dark?' Totally freaked me out." - Jamie Wyeth This large-scale painting marks Jamie Wyeth's transition from New York City to the worlds of Monhegan Island and Southern Island in Maine. After seeing the painting at Wyeth's solo exhibition at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1980, Andy Warhol noted in his diary that "Jamie is painting bigger--more Pop-pictures now. I told him he should go even bigger." With mottled, glossy feathers and one gleaming, beady eye, this larger-than-life raven approaches the edge of the canvas with its beak partly open, ready to attack its prey.
