Eagle Sculpture Making Video

The double-headed eagle is a universal symbol of sovereignty and power, dating back to ancient times. The two heads facing opposite directions symbolize the ruler's absolute control over both East and West, representing world domination. This figure expresses the union of spiritual and physical power, while also serving as a balance that observes both the past and the future simultaneously. In Turkish culture, especially associated with the Seljuks, this symbol is regarded as a protective talisman and a sign of the state's unshakable authority. It reflects justice and celestial power on earth.

Although the origins of the double-headed eagle figure date back to Mesopotamian and Hittite civilizations, the aesthetic style seen in the video reflects the artistic tradition of the Anatolian Seljuk State. The Seljuks used this ancient symbol in its most magnificent form in their architecture, coins, and palace decorations. The geometric details and form of the statue bear the characteristic features of 12th and 13th-century Anatolian Turkish art. This work carries the spirit of a period when the eagle cult from steppe culture reached its peak by blending with settled Islamic art and the local heritage of Anatolia.

This special statue is produced using high-quality cast marble and special alloy composite materials, which are extremely resistant to outdoor conditions and the corrosive effects of time. The antique texture on its surface has been crafted with special aging techniques to give the work a historical depth. Steel construction supports located inside ensure the structural integrity of the statue and make it resistant to vibrations. The materials used both convey the natural weight and texture of stone and offer the advantages of longevity and detail precision provided by modern technology.

To date, we have designed double-headed eagle monuments for many public institutions, primarily various municipalities, governorates, and universities. In addition to the massive monuments decorating the squares of our cities that embrace the Seljuk heritage, we have conducted special works for strategic institutions like the General Directorate of Security, which carries this symbol in its emblem. We have also prepared custom orders for prestigious hotel projects and historical-themed museum complexes. In every project, we aim to build lasting works that add value to the space and remain as a legacy for future generations, prioritizing the institution's identity and the historical weight of the symbol.

Yes, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern art techniques at every stage of our production process. The clay modeling in the initial design phase of the statue is shaped entirely by hand by our master sculptors. The fine details, feather textures, and facial expressions on the raw body coming out of the mold are clarified by processing them one by one with the method we call pen-work. The painting and aging stages are also completed individually with the brushstrokes of our artists. In this way, each statue gains an artistic value with its own unique soul and character, far from fabricated production, and takes on the quality of a collectible work.

Although we focused on the visual grandeur of the statue in our video, this work is actually the physical form of a narrative spanning thousands of years. The double-headed eagle is not just a figure; it represents the continuity of the Turkish state tradition extending from the Seljuks to the Ottomans and then to the Republic. Every feather detail, claw structure, and perspective of the statue was designed in accordance with the original by scanning historical sources.
