Another gorgeous piece of Art by First Nations master artist Gino Seward from the Kwakiulth First Nations just arrived in our native Art gallery Mymondo Trading:

Guaranteed authentic hand carved, wooden Whale and Eagle spirit - art carving

This is a thick piece of wood, very deep carving lines, stained and polished which just makes it look so beautiful!!  It's signed at the back, carved in front, also, it's prepared for wall hanging. Gino doesn't sand his pieces much so that you can see his knife-marks - it's just visible how much work he put's into them. 

Measurements: 9" x 4 1/4" x 3/4"
