New Era in Craftsmanship
Pioneering a new era in craftsmanship, Metal Time Workshop proudly announces the creation of an unprecedented marvel – the world's first mechanical moving bird, meticulously crafted from stainless steel. Drawing inspiration from the symbol of Nation Unity, the American Eagle, this innovative masterpiece pays homage to the legendary bird's historical significance.
The bald eagle is a majestic creature known for its longevity, embodying the enduring vision our founding fathers had for our nation. William Barton, one of the designers of the Great Seal of the United States, noted, "The eagle displayed is the symbol of supreme power and authority, and signifies Congress, and that the olive branch and arrows that it holds in its talons are the powers of peace and war."
Today, we celebrate the majestic eagle and all it represents: the freedom, the nation's enduring legacy, and the resilience in overcoming any challenge.
The Bald Eagle: A Cultural Icon
Taking a real bald eagle as our prototype, we delved into the rich cultural tapestry surrounding this majestic bird. Across different peoples, the bald eagle has been revered for various reasons. Among the Iroquois, it proudly perches atop a pine tree, symbolizing strength and resilience. For the Plains Indians, it played a role in the cycle of life and reincarnation, while among the Choctaws, the eagle stands as a symbol of peace and connection to the upper world of the sun.
The Sioux tribes even consider the bald eagle as their ancestral symbol, while the Pawnee people associate it with fertility, mirroring its protective nature as it bravely guards its offspring high above the ground.
