This unisex Northwest Coast Native cuff has been hand-engraved. This bold bracelet measures 1" wide by 6" long, which will fit a wrist between 6 1/4"-6 1/2" in circumference. Custom lengths can be created on request by designer Kelvin Thompson. After this piece was hand-engraved using steel gravers and chisels, it was chemically oxidized to provide it with an antiqued look. This oxidization process really helps the design pop. This bracelet tells the "Raven Steals the Light" myth:

"At the beginning of time, the whole world was dark. The reason for this blackness had to do with an old man in a house by one of the largest rivers on Earth, who had a box, which contained a box, which contained a box, which contained an infinite number of boxes, each nestled in a box slightly larger than itself until finally there was a box so small all it could contain was all the light in the universe. The old man hid the light because he was afraid to see whether or not his daughter was ugly. In a ploy to steal the light, Raven shrunk himself to become a hemlock needle in a basket of drinking water so that the daughter swallowed him. Soon, Raven was reborn from her as a raven/human child. The old man accepted him as a grandson, and soon Raven began begging that he open the boxes, one after another, each time pleading and crying until the old man succumbed. When the old man finally opened the box containing the light, Raven grabbed it and flew out of the house, causing light to spread throughout the world and revealing that the old man's daughter as beautiful - beautiful as the fronds of a hemlock tree. This legend represents creation and transition."
