The beauty and nobility of an eagle in flight inspires both awe and great reverence. For Native Americans, the eagle is always to be honored as a symbol of valor. Its soaring pathway through the skies speaks of the circle of life, of the four directions in life: Courage, Wisdom, Generosity and Respect. Eagle feathers represent all that is strong, brave, and holy; they are to be worn always with honor, dignity and pride. Each plate is made of porcelain and measures 8 3/4 inch high.
