Red Cedar Northwest Native Eagle Wall Panel

Description

One of the great things about the aesthetic of this panel is that the artist really strove to emphasize the grain of the Western red cedar wood. While it is indeed painted, a wash was used so the grain can still be detected through the acrylic. There is such a reverence for the precious cedar tree amongst Indigenous communities here in the Pacific Northwest, and this wall panel acknowledges this. This sculpture depicts the 'Eagle' which is a symbol of pride and friendship. It is one of the primary crest symbols for First Nations populations here in British Columbia. The panel measures 30 inches by 20 inches was was signed and carved by Gitxsan artist Trevor Angus. I
t is made to order and will take 3-4 weeks to arrive.
