Ceremonial staff – “The Cry of the Otter” (unique handcrafted piece)

✨ A rare totem creation, carrying the gentle medicine of the Otter.

I created this ceremonial staff with the intention of uniting the gentleness of words and the strength of symbols.

Entitled "The Cry of the Otter" , it pays homage to the spirit of this animal, often associated with joy, curiosity and fluid communication .

The otter invites us to lightness, while also reminding us of the value of listening and sincere sharing.

This staff is a unique handcrafted work , made from natural elements: A raw wood handle, adorned with genuine moose leather , natural fur and feathers chosen for their visual and symbolic balance .

Every detail is handcrafted with respect, patience, and intention.

Used as a decorative piece or symbolic object , it embodies the link between speech and territory — a work that is both powerful and soothing.

My approach

Each stick I make is unique.

I personally select the materials based on their shape, texture, and history.

I like to think that each piece carries a breath of the land — a balance between nature and the human voice.

This staff represents the otter as guardian of play, lightness, and sincere speech.

It is a creation designed to inspire respect, communication, and the beauty of gesture.
