Originally commissioned by the architect Sir Basil Spence as a lectern for Coventry Cathedral which was rebuilt after the Second World War, this work depicts an eagle with its wings outstretched, about to take flight. In addition to the cast at the Cathedral, another cast was purchased by the Washington State Department for President John F. Kennedy’s Memorial in Dallas, Texas. Dame Elisabeth Frink’s education in art began in her Catholic convent school in Devon, where she developed an appreciation of art, religion and the spiritual.
