Front view EAGLE carving by our friend and master artist Doug Horne from the Coast Salish First Nation on Vancouver Island.

Gorgeous wood, carved as always by Doug, in very clean lines, the expression is just wonderful, detailed and precise carving. It's sanded to perfection but it also shows in parts the knife marks which makes it even more remarkable. Doug signed it at the back, it's made and prepared for wall hanging.

Meaning: Eagles mate for life and are therefore also seen as a symbol of lasting love and dedication. It is told that the Eagle end their own life in despair when the mate is lost. Eagle feathers are used in the most important ceremonies, a display of respect, courage, Chieftainship and wisdom
