  • Product Description

      Running Eagle depicted on horseback with bow drawn and arrow flying in the air. Featured in front of the mountains with Mother Moon & the Morning Star. Terrance's choice of vibrant colors and symbolism tell the story of this tribal leader during a pivotal moment in battle.  "Running Eagle" was a female leader and warrior amongst her tribe, the only woman to ever join the male warriors in battle living in the 18-19th century. Prior to proving herself in battle and gaining respect of the male warriors, she went by the name Brown Weasel Woman. Gaining her power from the sun, Terrance depicts her in many of his ledger pieces with unique symbolism in each.

       This is an original piece on late 19th century ledger paper, dated without year reference, Monday Nov 8th. Text and records of sales are legible on front and reverse of this antique document that Terrance has given new life.

       Ledger size: Approximately 7.5in x 12in

      **This piece is currently sold unframed and unmounted in a plastic protective sleeve.  Contact us to discuss mounting/framing options and pricing: info@picayunecellars.com
