Скачать или смотреть Butterfly Bowl by Jim Charlie

While the butterfly is considered a minor crest figure, it often appears as decoration and has become increasingly popular in contemporary First Nations design.

The graceful Butterfly is known to represent freedom, liberation, companionship, and connection to the supernatural world.

In some Haida stories, the Butterfly appears as a partner to the Raven. The Butterfly is a scout who can lead the Raven to food, or find the hiding places of other creatures. The figure is occasionally depicted with a human face, but it is most easily recognized by its double wings and short, segmented body.

Robert Davidson and Susan Point are two prominent artists who incorporate this beautiful creature into their modern aesthetics.
