Native American art. Hand carved yellow cedar Orca rattle, 14" long. A striking carved rattle hollowed out and see through. Classic Northwest Coast Native style.
Orcas are sometimes called Sea Wolves. They are like wolves in that they live and hunt in a close family unit (pack or pod). Wolves and Orcas are believed to be able to transform back and forth. They are also closely related to humans and are thought of as protectors and healers of humans. It’s believed Humans that have transformed into Orcas sometimes swim close to shore when they miss their old life. It’s good luck to be splashed by an Orca.
