The sculpture is of an eagle with its wings spread wide. It is made from a material resembling wood, with the primary color being a natural wood shade highlighted in brown and gold. The eagle is surrounded by swirling designs in a reddish-brown hue and dark green leaf-like elements on both sides. The sculpture has a decorative form, possibly for mounting on a wall for a head-on view.
