As one can see from comparing the size of the people in the shots above, the statue is quite large in size. However, Reid's 'Spirit of the Haida Gwaii', also on display at the Museum of Civilization, is still his largest and most complex piece.
Today, Northwest Indian artists make some very stunning carvings of killer whales. Just imagine having such a beautiful piece of artwork hanging in your home. See some great examples of Native American orca killer whale carvings at very affordable online prices available at Free Spirit Gallery.
