Product Overview
A beautiful hand-carved piece showing a shaman transforming into a raven, with wings and a human head. Inspired by Alaska Native traditions, it reflects the deep connection between humans, animals, and the spirit world.
Whalebone is a rare and unique material, traditionally used by Alaskan Native artists. Its natural strength makes it ideal for detailed, long-lasting sculptures, a practice found almost nowhere else in the world. The face of the shaman is carved out of fossilized walrus jawbone.
