Dark Crow Metal Sign Black Raven Wall Sign Art

Feathers like an oil slick.

One raven takes up most of the disc, standing on the cut end of a log with its head lifted and its long beak in profile. The feathers run through blue, teal, violet and magenta over black, laid down in rounded overlapping scales so the bird looks lacquered rather than dull.

The sky behind is a full sunset, gold at the horizon and rising through orange to purple, with rolling hills and small birds in the distance. On the right sit two lit candles in glass holders, one printed with stars, beside a pink flower, with a second smaller raven half hidden behind them. Dark leaves frame the top. The heavy outlining is drawn, and the whole scene is printed onto a flat panel.

The colour range makes this one easy beside warm wood and brass, over a sideboard or on a shelf against a plain wall. It reads mystic rather than macabre, so it stays up all year. A good gift for someone who works with raven symbolism, or who simply feeds the crows in the yard by name.
