Eagle Sculpture

Sculpted from Single piece of Teak root wood, the piece was designed with Sterling silver head, feet, beak and claws. Eyes are made out of Tiger’s eyes quartz, set on a black granite stand. Fascinated with the beauty of an eagle ready to pounce a flight, the idea of the wooden sculpture came to life.
 
Teak is the common name for the tropical hardwood tree species Tectona Grandis and its wood products, native to South and Southeast Asia and continues to be rare to find. Lotus Arts de Vivre uses various free-formations of the teak branches, teak root or drift wood to further hand-carve and create its designs. 
 
Eagle conveys the powers and messages of the spirit; it is man's connection to the divine because it flies higher than any other bird. The eagle brings the message of renewed life because it is associated with the east winds - the direction of spring, dawn and rebirth. 
 
These labour intensive master pieces are one of a kind works of art that have been put together by skilled craftsmen who have preserved the knowledge of traditional craft techniques. 
 
This piece took 3 months to create, with 9 craftsmen involved during the entire process of design to finish.
