"Spyhop" Orca/Killer Whale Sculpture SculptureThis Killer Whale Sculpture was hand carved and painted by Kwakwaka'wakw artist Rod Smith. Rod is perhaps best known for his precise and elegant painting style. The Orca or Killer Whale symbolizes family, romance, longevity, harmony, travel, community and protection. He is said to protect those who travel away from home, and to lead them back when the time comes. Orcas will often stay their whole life with the same pod and raise each calf with care.
