The sculpture features an eagle with its wings partially spread and its head slightly turned to one side. The eagle is perched atop a spherical shape on a dark rectangular base. The sculpture appears to be made of wood, with a warm, golden-brown color and carved feather texture on the eagle. The eagle is centrally placed and slightly elevated. The work displays detailed craftsmanship in the sculpting of the feathers and overall form of the eagle.
