Pediment with an Eagle

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a stone carving titled "Pediment with an Eagle" by an unknown artist. The carving features an eagle with its wings spread out, positioned centrally. The eagle has a round head, a body covered in scales, and its wings have feathers carved on them. Its talons are visible at the bottom. The eagle is surrounded by a wreath or leaves carved into the stone. Above the eagle, there is a row of spheres. The carving is made of stone and has a weathered appearance. The background of the image is dark grey. The carving is presented as if it were a pediment, with the top curved and the sides partially rough-hewn.
