Thomas Dambo's West Seattle troll sculpture combines Coast Salish culture with Danish folklore

In a most unexpected way, Coast Salish culture has meshed with Danish folklore on the shores of Lincoln Park — in the form of a giant troll.

As part of Danish environmental artist Thomas Dambo's "Northwest Trolls: Way of the Bird King" exhibition, Muckleshoot artist Coyote contributed to the story and design of the troll Bruun Idun and adorned her with traditional cedar and abalone shells. (Lauren Frohne / The Seattle Times)
