The Ashton-Drake Galleries Call to the Eagle Spirit Portrait Figurine - A sculptural portrait figurine titled Call to the Eagle Spirit from the Spirits in the Ancient Clay collection. The piece is constructed from textured resin or composite material designed to resemble natural clay pottery. The exterior features a matte terracotta-toned finish decorated with geometric bands in blue, white, and black. Multiple strands of wooden and colored beads are draped around the upper rim, terminating in four natural feathers hanging from the sides. The front of the vessel features a large irregular cutout revealing a three-dimensional diorama interior. The scene depicts a woman in traditional-style Indigenous dress standing on a rocky outcrop, reaching upward toward a soaring eagle in the background.
