Eagle Wall Hanging Stan Hill - c134

Stanley R. Hill (1921 - 2003) Mohawk Nation, Turtle Clan  is an internationally exhibited Iroquois sculptor from Six Nations, Ontario. His sculptures are in the permanent collection of several widely recognized museums including the Iroquois Museum, Canadian Museum of Civilization in Ottawa, Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, The Iroquois Museum, Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, Rochester Museum and Science Center, and Bolle Museum in France.Stanley Hill discovered his artistic talents when he retired in 1975 from a career as a structural steelworker. Often he represents animals, birds, or wampum belts in his sculpture, and experiments with representing the human face. As a bone sculptor, he sees a link between himself and his forefathers who carved handsome combs and figures as well as household articles from bone.
Stan Hill used all types of bone and antler. The eagle head is masterfully carved with each feather delicately represented. 
Mounted on a walnut plaque.
