Thunderbird and Transforming Whale, 26", by Sarah Daniels Robertson

Excellent Northwest Coast First Nations, Indigenous Art. Hand carved, hand painted and signed -

Large and thick, 26" tall Thunderbird and transforming Killer Whale wall art carving by female native Kwakiutl artist Sarah Daniels Robertson from Kingcome Inlet, British Columbia's Pacific Northwest Coast. 

Fantastic craftsmanship, as always, very clean lines - hand painting in black and red, still showing lots of the beautiful yellow of the wood. Comes with wall hanger so it's ready to be hung up on your wall, carved in front, signed at the back. Incredibly detailed carving and alive expression. 

Measurements: 26" x 6" x 1 1/2"

Meaning: The Thunderbird symbolizes supernatural power and is believed to be the dominating force behind all of nature’s 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. They are a known to always be working together, take care of each other and to always help and protect each other.
