Artist, American, 1878 - 1951

The sculpture features an eagle with wings partially spread, resting on an intricately designed base resembling draped fabric. The material seems weathered, possibly bronze, with a patina of green and brown swirls. The sculpture appears to be small to medium-sized. Details like the eagle's feathers and the texture of the drapery are carefully rendered, conveying a sense of movement and grace in its static form.
