The most important of all creatures to the coast Indian peoples was the Raven. He took many forms to many peoples - the Transformer, the cultural hero, the trickster, the Big Man. Full of magical powers, the Raven could transform himself into anything. He put the sun in the sky, the fish in the sea, the salmon into the rivers. His antics were often motivated by greed, and he loved to tease, to cheat, to woo, and to trick. This is a beautifully executed rendition of a swooping raven, available as a pendant in sterling silver with a 24 inch sterling chain. The Scolding Raven is 1-5/16 inches from tail to chin. Made in USA.
