Large Thunderbird and Killer Whale by Sarah Daniels (nee Robertson), very talented and well known First Nation artist from the Kwakiulth First Nation, Kingcome Inlet, BC.

Solid piece of wood, hand painted in black and red. Truly amazing quality in this piece. Very clean sanding. Carved in front, signed at the back, made and prepared for wall hanging. Please have a close look at the images - they just don't do it justice...

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. 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
