The intricate details of this sculpture immediately draw the viewer's attention. The raven, a symbol often associated with wisdom and transformation in indigenous cultures, takes center stage. Its sleek form exudes power and grace as it perches on top of a crouching figure. Surrounding the main subjects are several meticulously crafted masks that add depth to the composition. Each mask tells its own story, representing different aspects of Haida mythology or cultural significance. The use of ivory and shell inlay adds texture and visual interest to this remarkable piece.
