More about Stylized Sea Creature in Bold Colors

A richly colored, stylized Tlingit or Haida art illustration depicts a seal, sealion, or otter-like creature with a sleek body, tail, and flippers. The animal’s large face features an oval eye with a white iris and black pupil. Its triangular mouth is open, revealing red upper and lower jaws. The seal is rendered in an Abstract formline style, with bold, thick black outlines. Its body is adorned with intricate patterns in green, dark red, and white. There are broad white, C-shaped forms, and U-shapes that suggest movement around its neck and along its back. The seal’s flipper is partially visible in the middle, and a single, pointed tail is outlined in black with a dark red and white pattern on its end. The background is solid white.
