On the Wings of an Eagle

Oh, my home is in the mountains
I am free, I am free
I am one with wind and eagles
I am free
Given wings to sail in gracefulness
The sky, the sky
Given voice to sing in breathlessness
I find that I can fly

John Denver, 1998

This majestic and massive eagle is hand carved from wood, capturing the grace and power of this magnificent bird.




This vintage sculpture was carved in the Philippines, which has a history of woodworking dating back over two millennia. Miguel López de Legazpi, who arrived in the Philippines in 1565 and established the first Spanish settlement in what was then known as the East Indies, praised the skills of the Philippine wood carvers and carpenters.
