Water creatures such as salmon, herring and flounder are on the menu for mighty Eagles who are opportunistic hunters. Makes you wonder what kind of fish Fred Bowannie, Jr.'s raptor has caught. It's carved from iridescent abalone and inlaid with a pen shell eye. The smoothly sculpted bird (or perhaps even a Hawk) is from one piece of rhyolite rippling with light raspberry hues. Rhyolite is a fine-grained igneous rock rich in silica. We love the feathered friend's attentively turned head with pen shell inlaid eyes. Plumage is lightly etched. About 3 3/4" tall, 2 5/8" wide and 1 3/8" deep. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this eagle fetish will go to the Zuni Eagle Sanctuary.
