Matriarch's Regalia Mother-of-pearl shell buttons, ermine, woven cedar bark, canvas 48" x 48" | 2025
$4,900
This work weaves together two intertwined traditions: the button blanket and the woven cedar mat. Each panel, crafted by Shirley Brown, features mother-of-pearl buttons arranged in traditional symbols—waves, flowers—signifiers of cultural memory and story. The ermine fur, a sign of high status, connects the piece to ceremonial regalia worn by leaders. Mounted on canvas, it creates a three-dimensional experience that invites viewers to see regalia as both wearable and visual art—a celebration of skill, tradition, and Indigenous beauty.
