Superb quality piece of Inigenous Art from the North American continent (Pacific Northwest Coast)

Double Raven Bowl, Maple wood, hand painted and signed by late Harris Smith from the Kwakwaka'wakw First Nation of Oweekeno Village

So beautiful, and so close to perfection - the design of the Raven's is stunning, the faces on one end, the tail on the other, black rim, abstract painting on inside - just perfect. Harris clearly had a great talent for painting and a great "eye" for design. First Class Indigenous Art!!!

Measurements: 10" diameter opening, 4 1/2" high (25.5 x 11.5 cm)

Meaning: The Raven is known to be the transformer, trickster and creator. In the Kwakwaka'wakw culture the Raven is known as the messenger of the sky and famous for being a somewhat mischievous glutton. He's always out to please himself and to have a good time. He's very adventurous.
