The most important creature to the Northwest Coast Native American people was the Raven. The Raven took many forms for many people — the Transformer, the cultural hero, the trickster, the Big Man. Full of magical powers, the Raven could transform himself into anything. He put the sun in the sky, the fish in the sea, the salmon in the rivers. His antics were often motivated by greed, and he loved to tease, to cheat, to woo, and to trick. The Raven adorns this Authentic  Pacific Northwest Coast Native American Design Brass Plaque. The plaque is Acid- etched metal (brass) 11 1/2 " square.
