Because of the shape and/or design on this Scrimshaw piece, the US Department of the Interior - Indian Arts and Crafts Board and eBay have requested that I make it very clear, this item was not made by a Native American. or Alaskan Native I am just a white man who has a great deal of respect and admiration for the "True Native Americans." *** Take advantage of FREE SHIPPING *** in this Listing for a Really Neat Scrimshaw Pendant on Leather Cord we call, "Killer Whale Hook" from the design studio of Hops' Scrimshaw and Roger (HOP) Hopper. One legend of the Killer Whale (Orca) is it was once a supernatural white Wolf that dove into the sea and was transformed into a Whale, then Mother Earth painted the markings on the side of the Killer Whale as a reminder it was once a member of the Wolf family. Certainly the Killer Whales and Wolves do share similar traits, they stay and hunt in family groups, a family of Wolves is called a pack, a family of Killer Whales is called a pod. Also, like Wolves, Killer Whales are said to mate for life. Another legend of the Killer Whale tells of the love between a Killer Whale and an Osprey. The Killer Whale was once all black but the Killer Whale and the Osprey loved each other so much the Whale would jump into the air to be closer to the Osprey, the Osprey would in turn fly close to the water to be closer to the Whale. Their love was so great that when they had a child, it was black like the Killer Whale as well as white like the Osprey. There are a number of other Native American legends of the Killer Whale, you might enjoy looking them up sometime. Walk in peace my friend, HOP This piece is approximately 1-1/8" wide by about 2-1/8" tall and comes on a strong waxed dacron cord. This would make a "GREAT GIFT" for yourself or someone you know who loves Whales.
