Rain Crow
 


Limited edition bronze available

12 inches high


"One familiar with the Rain Crow knows that he is a real bird who is more often heard than seen. He seems to not really stop, but just pauses like a Road Runner. When one hears him in the hot, dry summertime, it is a most welcome song that rain is about to come," Stone said. The Phoenix Bird, according to legend, appears once every hundred years, consumes himself with his own fire, and rises to live again from his own ashes. "The Rain Crow, with his power to predict rain, and the Phoenix Bird are akin to one another. "I have combined the two together in this wood sculpture to show their relation to each other. It would be a tragedy if the Phoenix should appear and not be able to burn himself up because of the rain. The Rain Crow prevents this from happening,” Stone said.
