The first side of the Raven Bentwood Style Box is complete. Sterling silver & 24K gold inlay.

 

Raven had a son who was abducted by Thunderbird. Raven and the Myth People made a whale from a giant cedar and coated it with pitch. They put it in the ocean and when the Thunderbird tried to grasp the whale in its talons, they stuck to the pitch, and Thunderbird his four children were drowned. Raven, always the clever one, had his revenge.
