Another absolutely stunning piece of art by master artist Donavon Gates, a member of the Old Massett Band from Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands)

Eagle

Old growth red cedar, richly inlaid with Abalone, VERY detailed and precise carving. Please have a close look to appreciate the quality. Donavon was working with Argillite for many years and you can just see the skill and talent he has for this art. So meticulous, truly perfection. He spends so much time of every single piece. The expression is truly powerful. Dark brown and lighter stain applied and polished. He signed the Eagle at the back with his carved Initials. It's made and prepared for wall hanging. Just a really excellent piece of true Haida art and, simply beautiful! Have a look, as always I'm providing many images. 

Measurements: 26" x 11" x 1"
