Ravens and Moon

MOA: University of British Columbia

3309/2 a-c

Glass spindle whorl (part a) with convex glass that is etched on both sides. The central image is the moon depicted with two ravens below in mirror image. The moon is large, with a human-like face, and the mouth echoes the central hole of the spindle whorl. There are five crescents around the moon's face, with three more within the brow. The ravens' wings extend up and around the sides of the design. The spindle (parts b-c), is composed of two cone shaped pieces of brushed steel, which screw together at the centre.
