K´ilam Laakws as nüüm - Raven gives light

K´ilam Laakws as nüüm - Raven gives light

This mask represents TXAMSEM in his raven form releasing light. The abalone shell in the eyes and the mouth are signs of royality, but also reflections from the release of daylight on raven. In his nose are coppers, these are oval forms, which signify the sun. The hair is a symbol of his human connection.

Alder, Abalone shell, Copper, Hair
