Hand carved red cedar plaque. 24" long, deep 3d carving.
This captivating 2-foot-tall wall carving showcases a powerful eagle, its form rendered with deep, intricate carving. The eagle's majestic presence is further enhanced by a rich brown stain and a lustrous wax finish. At the bottom right, a smaller raven's head is subtly incorporated, adding a layer of intrigue to the artwork. This juxtaposition of eagle and raven symbolizes the concept of "lovebirds" in Northwest Coast Native culture, representing the union of individuals from different clans. The carving's rich details and symbolic imagery make it a powerful testament to the artistry and cultural traditions of the region.
