A raven bowl carved from alder. The bowl is a stylised raven with U-forms carved into the wings folding round the bowl body of the bird. The bowl is signed underneath. The bowl was carved by Lorraine E. Charlie, a Kwagiulth artist. It is a remarkably stylised and beautifully simple rendering of the often produced Raven. The bowl is modern but references the traditional subject matter and style of Northwest Coast art form. This particular bowl is a working piece, a prototype of further bowls; originally not for sale but happily sold to become part of a museum collection.
