Raven Skull Art Wall Piece

Crow Plaque

Pyrography with 24 karat Gold Leaf

Birch Wood

Created August 2024

This original 8-inch circular artwork features a hand-burned crow design created using traditional pyrography techniques on birch wood. Every mark is burned directly into the surface, allowing the natural grain of the wood to become part of the composition.

A preserved real crow skull is carefully mounted onto the piece, adding a physical dimension that bridges natural history and symbolic art. The contrast between the organic woodburning and the bone element creates a striking presence—both grounded and almost ceremonial in feeling.

The crow has long been associated with intelligence, transformation, and observation. In this piece, it is treated less as an illustration and more as an artifact-like presence. The composition is meant to feel quiet but intentional, as if it belongs to a collection of natural curiosities rather than simple wall décor.

Subtle finishing and sealed protection help preserve both the woodburning and the natural materials, ensuring longevity while maintaining their raw, organic character.

This is a one-of-a-kind original artwork intended for collectors of symbolic, nature-based, and unconventional pieces.
