DescriptionThe sculpture depicts a male Native American figure standing on a rock outcropping joined by a stag behind the figure, a mountain lion between the figure's legs, a fawn lies to the left of the figure's feet, a wolf stands behind the fawn, and a bear at the base of the rock formation. The figure's head is thrown back with his right arm extended into the sky with an eagle landing on his hand; the figure's left hand holds a recorder like instrument to his lips. The figure is clothed in a loincloth and wears a feathered headdress. The sculpture is mounted on a green marble base.
