Exhibit Label

The eagle has become more Indian in this northern bracelet, perhaps Tlingit in origin. The native ideal of two-dimensional design, figures fitted to space, avoidance of overlaps, and flat diagramatic representation of the features prevails, but European scrolls still swirl from the bird's head and wings.
The design is a combination of stylized naturalism with formline details of wing joints and features of the heads. Implicit formlines defining the eye and shoulder are narrow and rounded. The engraving technique on this bracelet is of high quality, but is not so clean and bold as that on the previous eagle and scroll bracelet [2005-102/2]. (Holm, Box of Daylight, 1983).
