This Raven Song Chain Necklace is made out of Sterling Silver and Amber by Northwest Coast Artist Chris Cook from the Kwakwaka'wakw Nation. The Ravens are hand-carved and signed.
Mischievous and curious, the Raven plays many important roles in Pacific Northwest Coast Culture. For some, he symbolizes creation, transformation, knowledge, prestige as well as the complexity of nature and the subtlety of truth. He also symbolizes the unknown and shows that every person sees the world in a different way.
