Description by Artist: Komokwa is an important figure in Kwagiulth culture. The King of the Undersea World, his name means “Wealthy One” and he ruled his kingdom from his house Iaden with riches under the water. In this design Eugene has set the face of Komokwa amidst four salmon. The printed tan background inside the circle reflects the hide of the drum that this design was originally painted on. This print continues a salmon theme which Eugene used in an earlier print.”
