Tribute To My Grandmother Mary Ebbets

"Free me and I will give you a gift," said the eagle to the warrior. The warrior freed the eagle from the elk's antlers and the eagle said, "On the other side of that hill is my gift to you." And the eagle flew away. The warrior walked to the top of the hill. Below was a beautiful stallion, covered with black and white spots, exactly like the eagle feathers." 66" x 40" unnapped
