TRANSFORMING WHALE - with Eagle and Raven spirit

by Kwagiulth First Nation Master artist Alfred Robertson, originating from Kingcome Inlet, BC.

Wall hanging or free standing - Very thick piece! Easy recognizable as one of his artworks. Just have a look at these extremely deep cuts. The stain is beautifully polished to give it a nice shine, still showing the natural grain of the wood. This is one of Alfred's signature pieces, it truly makes every room. It's signed at the back, made and prepared for wall hanging but he used a very thick piece of wood, so it is also free standing. Fabulous piece!

Measurements: 20" x 6" x 1 1/2"

Meaning: The killer whale is a symbol for romance and harmony as Whales mate for life. The Whale is very family oriented and known to travel in large groups, never to be alone. They symbolize great luck and happiness, community and protection. They are a known to always be working together, take care of each other and to always help and protect each other.
