Artist, American, 1909 - 1992

The sculpture depicts an eagle with wings spread wide, resting atop a base that appears to be shaped like a circular platform. The eagle is detailed, showing feathers and a prominent beak. The sculpture is made of a dark material, likely metal, giving it a textured appearance and a brownish or iron-like color. The eagle is positioned in a way that suggests a sense of strength and readiness, with its wings outstretched and its head turned to the side. The base is simple and flat, supporting the eagle and adding to the overall composition of the sculpture.
