Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Soapstone eagle on auction block. Since June; firefighter and wildlife artist Tyler Briley has scraped; sanded and carved a 400-pound slab of soapstone in an effort to transform it into a large eagle; its piercing eyes narrowed as it clutches a coiled serpent. The piece could fetch $20;000 at the Royal Ontario Museum fundraising auction on Oct. 15.
