It features brushed bolsters, our spear shield and local Piasa Bird etch...based on local legend, the Piasa Bird mural painted on the bluffs of the Mississipi River was first documented by Father Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet during their journey in 1673. Father Marquette wrote of the bird that "was as large as a calf with horns like a deer, red eyes, a beard like a tiger's, a face like a man, the body covered with green, red and black scales and a tail so long it passed around the body, over the head and between the legs." The bird was given its name by the Illini Indians, "The Piasa", meaning a "bird that devours men" or "bird of the evil spirit".
