The orca is considered the most powerful supernatural being of the undersea realm and this SGaana Jaad(Killer Whale Woman) is a noble matriarch, a fact revealed in the labret that adorns the lower lip of her mouth that also doubles as the orca's blowhole.
A gorgeous keepsake for art collectors and anyone who appreciates the rich cultural heritage of the Haida people. Order today!
Special Features:
• First issue in thiscaptivating 3-coin series showcasing Haida art and culture.
• Beautifully crafted in 99.99% pure gold!
• Stunningly enhanced with red and black enamel to re-create the distinctive artistic style of Haida formline imagery, hailed as one of the most popular art forms from the Pacific Northwest.
• A limited-edition work of art with only 50 coins available worldwide.

Design:
Haida artist April White—SGaana Jaad of the Yahqu'iaanaas Raven Clan—has created a mesmerizing image of an orca leaping out of the water. Look closely and you will see a female form hidden beneath the orca “cloak.” She is using her arms and legs in the orca's fins and tail topropel herself forward. Her shoulder is situated directly beneath the orca's eye, and her black hair is flowing along its back, echoed in the orca's black ribs. The ethereal essence of the scene is further enhanced by the silhouette of a full moon created by the circular outline of the design.
Packaging:
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maplewood case with a black beauty box.
