Description: This design, in the distinct Pacific Northwest Coast style, portrays a circular rendition of Raven/Eagle. These are all clan symbols of the Coastal People and are represented symbolically. Eagle (the outer bird) is recognized by its heavier short beak and the appearance of wings: Raven, located in the center of the design, as if in Eagle’s abdomen, is identified by his long straight beak and claws.
