Squid Eye

Squid Eyes act as a talisman that brings good luck and prosperity to all. They are usually hung in a prominent position in ones home or place of business, visible to all who enter. These whimsical squid eyes pay tribute to Change Islands, Newfoundland, home of the "Squid Jiggin' Ground". Written at the age of 15 (1928) by A.R. Scammell while fishing with his father, the "Squid Jiggin' Ground" is one of the most popular Canadian folk songs of all time. Of an interesting note, the eyes of the giant squid the "Kraken", is the largest of all the animal kingdom, with eyes that grow to 25 cm (10 in.) in diameter – about the size of a volleyball. Each squid eye is individually hand-crafted and may differ slightly from the photograph shown.
