Another incredible piece by Silas Coon, a member of the Kwakiulth First Nations, taught by George Hunt Jr. and Silas Cousin Beau Dick. 

Large and so impressive: Multi Character wall art carving, depicting the 

EAGLE and WILD MAN

Silas is part of a very elite group of First Nations, Indigenous artists, specialized in Tribal miniatures - he just pays tremendous attention to details. This wall art carving is inlaid with countless pieces of Abalone - and I mean, inlaid, not glued on top, that is so much work. The carving lines are exceptionally detailed and clean, the copper painting on top of the dark stain is amazing - and still showing the natural grain of the wood. All fully hand made, carved and painted. Made and prepared for wall hanging, signed at the back, carved in front, hanger attached. This piece really makes every room and is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. 

Measurements: 29" x 7" x 3/4" 

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.
