He lists his father, Fred Baker Sr. a famed Salish carver and Floyd Joseph as his teachers who provided him with inspiration. The eagle warrior is portrayed as a warrior metamorphosing into an eagle, supported by a seal or sea lion. This vintage carving boasts a fine patina and is well-crafted. 16" x 6" x 1" Show more
