The sculpture is a circular relief depicting an eagle with outspread wings against a background with stylized foliage on either side. The eagle is stylized, with emphasis on its head and wings. The sculpture appears to be made of a dark brown material, possibly wood or a similar substance. Concentric circles surround the eagle, adding depth and framing the central figure. The sculpture is relatively flat with intricate details carved into the surface. The design suggests a decorative motif commonly associated with heraldic or decorative insignias.
