Blackhawk Trail's End

Inspired by Fraser's bronze, "End of the Trail", this carved emu egg utilizes the various natural layers and shades to show great depth and detail.

The Blackhawk warrior is used here as a symbol of all of the losses the American Indian  suffered at the hands of the dominant invading culture. This one lone warrior and his horse, both exhausted, seemingly  on the point of collapse, still maintain an uneasy balance at the end of the long trail of losses. The warrior may be tired, but you sense that he is still strong and will go on, though perhaps along a different trail.

This carved egg comes with a hand tooled hardwood egg stand and can be personalized with an engraving on the back.

Because of the variations of color and texture inherent in the emu egg itself, each carved egg will be unique and make a distinctive addition to any decor (especially Southwestern) or collection.
