The eagle is an
intelligent and
agile bird. It
flies at a high
altitude but has
incredibly sharp
vision enabling
it to see far.
Even at a great
height the eagle
is attentive to
everything in its
surroundings. These
characteristics
are attributed to
the perfect warrior.
Thus when a warrior
has proven himself
a special eagle mask
is made for him so
that all the people
of the tribe know of
his capabilities and
respect him as they
do their leader.
This hand carved deco
mask is available in
the “small” size which
measures 9 inches in
height.
