Bring home a powerful piece of Northwest Coast Indigenous art with this signed red cedar eagle carving by Doug Harper, a respected artist of the Carrier Nation of Northern British Columbia.
Doug resided in Vancouver and was well known for his traditional formline–inspired carving style. He was also the uncle and mentor of fellow carver Les Harper, passing down cultural teachings and carving techniques that shaped multiple generations of artists.
