On the bottom of the front is again embossed the artist name in English and Japanese

the raven is a sacred figure in Northwest Coast native cultures

I like the connection between the figure mining for fish hidden below the surface of the ice and the box itself as a place where treasures are concealed and kept safe

Mid-Century Japanese Large Boat-Shaped Ceramic Bowl handmade frame Hollywood RegencyThis large, presumed mid century, boat shaped Japanese pottery bowl is a study in contrasts, with earthy, almost rocky variegated exterior dramatically contrasting with silky smooth, chocolate y brown interior glaze. It's especially nice on the table as a serving bowl, but also lovely displayed in silhouette on open shelves. Or use it as a vase for ikebana! 15W 6. 5D 3. 5H; perfect condition.
