Orca, or Killer Whale, is an important family crest and character in many stories. The most powerful and largest resident of the cold Northwest waters, is also called the Sea Wolf. If you’ve been fortunate to encounter an Orca you can’t deny it’s powerful presence; they’re famous for their reasoning capabilities and creative thinking in encounters with humans. There is no record of an Orca harming a human except in captivity. Legend tells of Nanasymget riding on the back of Orca to retrieve his lost wife.

This Orca ring is carved in the traditional Northwest Coast split totem style with the tail fin in the center. Deeply carved 3-D design with the head represented on both sides of the ring as is the dorsal fin.  Have you been influenced or impressed by the mighty spirit of Orca and want to have that with you often?  If you do then this Orca Ring from Walker Goldsmiths is just what you might need.
