Thunderbird is a mythical creature of the Coastal tribes, with supernatural powers including creating thunder by flapping his wings and lightning with a blink of his eyes. This spirit box was designed by Tom McPhee, a non-Indian Canadian artist. His spirit boxes resemble the Indian grease bowls, but are a new interpretation of the art. This box is suitable for jewelry. Color is rosewood. Size is 5 by 3½ by 4½, the interior of the box is 3½ by 2½ inches. This museum quality piece is made from a crushed marble and natural resin composite which undergoes multiple polishing and highlighting steps to develop the uniquely rich and warm finish. Made in Canada.
