THE SUN SYMBOLIZES: ENERGY, LIFE, CREATIVE POWER

In Haida First Nation legend, Sun was stolen and put into the sky by Raven. In Kwakwaka’wakw legend, Sun is an old man who walks across the sky each day. Many Salish consider Sun to be a powerful supernatural entity.

Don Lancaster was born on May 31, 1965, in Hazelton, British Columbia. While at school he began to carve under the guidance of his uncle, Norman Seaweed. As a professional artist in Victoria, he continues to create highly individualistic pieces unique to the Kwakwaka’wakw tradition. His pieces are carved using simple hand tools, many of which have been in his family for generations. It is through these tools and contact with other traditional artists that Don’s technique and unusual style has evolved.

I love this pendant. It was actually maybe twice as big as I was expecting and I really love the carving and detail on it. So special to be able to own and wear this piece of art.
