Indigenous Art. 16" x 8" x 2", hand carved Kwak'waka'wakw Eagle .
This 16-inch cedar eagle plaque, a testament to Kwak'waka'wakw artistry, commands attention with its deeply carved, three-dimensional form. The eagle's eyes are accentuated by smooth, pronounced gouging, drawing the viewer into its powerful gaze. Intricate Northwest Coast Native U-designs and split U-designs flow across the eagle's body, showcasing the artist's mastery of traditional formlines. Stained a rich, dark brown, the plaque's surface is then meticulously waxed and polished to a high sheen, revealing the cedar’s natural texture and the depth of the carving. Created by Will Wadhams, who learned his craft from esteemed carvers Ray and Loyd Wadhams, this piece embodies a lineage of skilled artistry.
