Polish Eagle

The Polish Coat of Arms shows a brilliant White Eagle set in red. According to everyone’s friend Wikipedia, “The White Eagle emblem originated when Poland’s legendary founder Lech saw a white eagle’s nest. When he looked at the bird, a ray of sunshine from the red setting sun fell on its wings, so they appeared tipped with gold, the rest of the eagle was pure white. He was delighted and decided to settle there and placed the eagle on his emblem.”

The eagle symbolizes strength, courage and freedom and you often see it in a coat of arms or as a crest. I take pride in my Polish-American background and find it serendipitous that my heritage shares such a symbol and depictions. When I saw this piece of wooden art at Polish Fest last year I thought it was nice enough to hang in my home. Here I present that pride in a more stylized form.
