Haida Orca Argillite Pendant

This Orca Pendant has been hand-carved by Haida artist Amy Edgars. The Pendant has been carved in argillite and features 2 abalone inlays.

The Orca or Killer Whale symbolizes family, romance, longevity, harmony, travel, community and protection. He is said to protect those who travel away from home, and to lead them back when the time comes. Orcas will often stay their whole life with the same pod and raise each calf with care.
