High quality craftsmanship, beautiful and expressive, a true work of art. This sculpture was masterfully hand-carved out of a solid piece of marble in the form of a lively fledgling Eagle. The detail of this Eagle is amazing and captures the anxious and frustrated energy that a fledgling Eagle feels as it tries to learn the daunting task of flight. If the Eagle represents freedom, the fledgling Eagle represents the work it takes to get there, along with the apprehension, risk, and fortitude required to realize the goal. An endearing subject that celebrates one of nature's death defying moments and extends the metaphor of freedom for the United States. The natural mottling of the polished marble gives the sculpture additional texture and sense of movement. The detail and skill of the carving creates a light weight, balanced, and naturalistic quality despite the fact that it weighs over 27 pounds. This Eagle sculpture will be a great addition to any home or office as well as a fantastic and unique gift. This marble Eagle is 12-1/4" tall, 16" wide, and 12" deep. This is a one-of-a-kind, hand-carved sculpture and once its gone its gone, don't let this opportunity pass you by.

Native Americans have always felt a special connection to nature. The belief that all things have a spirit is an integral part of their religions. The Zuni believe that animals are more like the Zuni deities than is man. They also believe that animals have more power than man and that these powers, both practical and spiritual, reside in their totems.
