- About The Eagle Hawkman sculpture
Man from Sea Otter with Clam Man with Eagle wings are detachable, as are sea urchin spines.
Bill Reid's influence is apparent, especially when examining a side view of the totem. Graceful and arresting, Eagle Hawkman is an especially fine example of LaFortune's carving.
