RAVEN RETURNING THE SUN

The carving lines are clean and deep, traditional colors, hand painted, decorated with cedar bark and rope, signed at the back, made and prepared for wall hanging. Signed and dated 2013

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.
