Beautiful red and black Northwest Coast formline Raven design by artist Bill Helin. "The Raven is an important figure, revered as a creator, transformer and trickster. He is famously credited with stealing and releasing the sun, moon and stars from a greedy chief's box to bring light to the world." The formline is a traditional style used by Indigenous nations of the Pacific Northwest, including the Tsimshian, Haida and
Tlingit.
The artist, Bill Helin is a Canadian Tsimshian / Norwegian artist from Prince Rupert, British Columbia. This is a 6" by 6" tile for decoration or use. It appears to be in very good condition. The cork on the back shows the piece has hardly if ever been used.
