Description: An outstanding example of American folkart at its best! Handcarved, wooden eagle with widespread wings and tenacious talons.

The carving, by a self-taught carver, is wonderful. But what makes the eagle extraordinary is how the piece weathered and changed over the many years it stood outside in the elements, and yet it is still unmistakeably an eagle.

CONDITION: There has been a primitive, old repair which can be seen from the back, with one or two old nails showing through on the front. They only enhance the grittiness of the piece. Also, some minor gluing to stabilize one wing. The steel stand has been custom made to fit the piece and is removable.
