The raven's intricate...This Raven Pendant by Darrel White, an homage to Bill Reid’s iconic work, is a masterwork of composition on a small scale, measuring only 2.25 inches tall. The raven's intricate form is skillfully rendered, with delicate details. Despite the pendant's size, the textures and curves capture the essence of the raven in flight, showcasing the White's precision. The inlaid catlinite and gold elevate the work, adding a subtle richness and warmth that contrasts beautifully against the darker tones of the raven's argillite form.
The presentation of the pendant is just as thoughtfully executed. It is housed in a custom-made yellow cedar container. The container is fitted and lined with soft velveteen, protecting the pendant, while the woven cedar bark cover adds a final, artisanal touch.
