Item pictured is an example. We have this carving in several sizes. This listing is specifically for the 2.5" bird.
Inky little raven for your altar. Hand-carved black onyx bird with folded wings, detailed feathers, glossy high-polish, and flat sturdy base. His sharp beak and quizzical head tilt convey his intelligence.
Ravens are playful, empathetic, resourceful, communicative, and deeply curious. Catch them watching you, appraising you, from a safe perch. Mythically, the raven is depicted as a mediator between life and death. A flock is sometimes called a treachery, conspiracy, or unkindness of ravens.
Despite his ominous presence at the gallows, the raven is not exclusively a symbol of darkness. In Norse mythology, Odin is depicted as having two ravens serving as his eyes and ears. In Native American mythology, a raven brought the world into light.
The fledgling (2.5") has blue eyes, the adult (3.25") has golden eyes.
