This stunning piece is “Golden Eagle” a portrayal of a noble horse of fine lineage and mighty spirit. The stallion’s strong muscles, flowing mane and tail seem to ripple with anticipation for the adventure to come. Exquisitely hand-sculpted and meticulously hand-painted to capture every nuance of form and colour, “Golden Eagle” premieres the Guiding Spirits collection—a series of breathtaking Native American-inspired horse sculptures that will be a dramatic addition to your home. True to the Native American custom of adorning war and ceremonial horses with talismans of bravery, power and good fortune, this stunning first edition has sculpted feathers invoking the keen vision, speed and stealth of eagles, hawks and owls. Even the long hunting lances are decorated with feathers for swiftness and power. A shield with the image of a charging bull, a colourful Native American-style blanket, a sculpted buffalo-pelt saddle, leg ornaments and hand-painted “beads” add further interest. Stands approximately 7 inches high (17.5 cm) including base. ©2008 The Bradford Exchange All rights reserved
