The White Raven  Ethnic, Folk, Nature
Views  142
Avg Rating  0 / 5 (0 Votes )
The White Raven is mentioned in many legends and myths in both Northwest Coast and Celtic cultures. Before Raven was black, he was white; some believe he turned black when he stole fire from the sun using a branch, and as he raced back to earth the sparks and soot turned him black. Other myths say that the Raven and Crow were the last birds to be painted, and being the gods had used all the colors on all the other birds, the only color left was black, which is why the raven and crow are always fighting.
This piece was made frome red cedar, cedar bark, rabbit fur, feathers, acrylic paint and is finished with an oil and wax combination.
