THUNDERBIRD 

wall art carving by master artist Doug Horne from the Coast Salish First Nation. Truly a gorgeous piece, very clean wood, the Thunderbird itself shows so much movement, the carving lines are so clean, close to perfection. Soft and powerful painting. Carved in front, signed and dated 2020 at the back. Have a look at the images, it's truly a superb piece of Art. 

Measurements: 22" x 15" x 1" (56 x 38 x 2.5 cm)

Meaning: The Thunderbird symbolizes supernatural power and is believed to be the  dominating force behind all of natures doings. It's  a mythical creature and only the most prestigious and powerful Chiefs are allowed to have the Thunderbird as a crest especially among the Kwagiulth, Nuu-Chah-Nulth and Coast Salish people.
