Argillite Round Raven Steals the Light Pendant - Handmade Native American Jewelry for Men & Women - Perfect for Spiritual Ceremonies, Gift Giving & Cultural Events

Product Description

This Raven Steals the Light pendant is hand-carved in argillite by Haida artist Gryn White.

One of the most common stories in Haida culture is how the Raven stole the light in the form of the sun, the moon and stars. Many say that he transformed himself into a baby to find out where the light was hidden and then stole it from an old chief who had kept them in his house locked away in a large bentwood box. After Raven escaped with the box through the smoke hole of the house, he placed the sun, the moon and the stars in the sky for all beings to enjoy. Originally the Raven had white feathers and after flying through the smoke hole with the light, his feathers turned black and stayed black until today.
