    Reflection-dancing raven
    [yellow cedar]

    PRICE$500.00

    v70xh14x2cm thk (v27"x horizontal width 6" by 3/4" thick) The is called "Reflection" by Squamish carver David Gonzales, because it is the mirror image, only largely in shades of white, of the Dancing Trickster black raven which he has also carved. This Reflection is a tall, slender piece, beautifully detailed in every feature. Notice especially the layered feathering along the neck. The black eye shines brightly out at the viewer, the nasal holes, the inner linings of the beak are a deep almost burnt crimson hue. The yellow cedar is incised to line the overall acrylic white paint used for the main parts of the body and head. It is a raven, and viewers may know that there there is a race of white ravens on Haida Gwaii. David Gonzales is from the Lower Mainland of British Columbia but is very aware of the spiritual qualities of the raven, whether the glossy black typically found or the haunting white of those northern rarities. These two reflecting raven carvings would work really well as a matched pair, turned toward each other. They are offered separately, but if they both are still available, it is possible to connect via our contact address to discuss acquiring them as a pair. 600 grams.
