"""I am immediately struck by the gold bracelet that it is by Charles Edenshaw. The figure on the front of the bracelet is certainly a sea lion very like others he carved in argillite and engraved on silver napkin rings. One side figure is also basically a sea lion with small ears and large flippers and tail, but has features on the top and bottom of the body that are like fins, perhaps indicating it is a composite creature of sea lion and fish merging. The figure on the other side of the bracelet is a killer-whale with folded dorsal fin and whale like tail. The blowhole is prominent confirming it as a killer-whale. The cartouche containing the sea lion on the front has a 'pie crust' border very like he used on many argillite platters but which is unusual on a bracelet. It has a number of unique features of his work which make it an interesting addition for study, and is in gold which he did only rarely for special clients which George Mercer Dawson obviously was."" George F. MacDonald, anthropologist, Director, Canadian Museum of Civilization (1983-1998) (May 31, 2014)"
