This carving is inspired by an illustration in an Irish, 8th century illuminated manuscript. The Eagle is a symbol of the Evangelist St. John, as his first words in the bible 'soar to great heights'.
This product is made by a process known as Intarsia which is the ancient art of making pictorial mosaics by laying precious and exotic woods onto a solid wood surface. Seven different woods are used to make these celtic designs.
