The Native American shaman, or medicine man, stands looking downward, with his arms bent that are attached to eagle wings. The eagle is a sacred messenger, carrying our prayers on its wings to the Creator, and returning with gifts and visions for the people. Eagle feathers assist shamans in connecting with the Spirit for healing. They are deemed the most sacred healing tools, a symbol of power, healing and wisdom. The bronze sculpture was molded using the ancient method of lost-wax casting and finished with a brown patina tarnish. The sculpture is mounted upon a black variegated marble base with the artist R.W. Lange`s signature.
