What could I carve to represent my patriotism? I had a great piece of Colorado (white) marble with large crystal structure. I had time. I had imagination. I imagined two eagle heads face to face on a semi-spherical structure whose bottom edge could possibly resemble the edge of a coin; hence “Double Eagle,” also the name of an old gold coin, was born. If you turn the sculpture around to see the back, you see two wings outstretched—not the eagle heads. As I couldn’t part with the original, I had a bronze version made. Several people have asked me what marble that is—and I have to tell them, it’s not marble; it’s bronze. The base is also bronze, and the eagles swivel, or turn, so you get two sculptures from one.
