Freedom

Freedom emerges from an extraordinary example of Swanton Red Marble. This exquisitely gracefully carved eagle represents the heroics that this national symbol exemplifies.
Once again I am grateful to the owners of the quarry where this very rare stone (some say it is a semi-precious stone) is extracted.
The limited output of this quarry is nearly totally committed to the oil sheikdoms.
