Although she explored several other artistic mediums, Eyetoaq’s stone depictions of the human form are among her most celebrated works. This powerful Bird Shaman is somewhat larger than most of Eyetoaq’s works, yet it still fits comfortably in the palm of your hand.
Provenance
Collection of John and Joyce Price, Seattle.
