DESCRIPTION: This one is a very special guitar from Versoul called the Shamn Raya. This guitar has some special Finnish features (yes, as in Finland). The artistic gold leaf and shell figures are inspired by pre historic Finnish rock paintings which are are dated from circa 4500-7000 years ago. The most important figure in pre-historic cultures in the Northern hemisphere was a shaman, who was the link between the spiritual world and man. Here the shaman has a special two pointed hat as found on rock paintings from Northern Finland. The Shaman was also a ceremonial master and here, dancing tribe members are included in the background on both sides of this Raya's body. The link between man and nature was very important and the moose figure on back side of the body is symbolic of that.
