Eagle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Gold sculpture of an eagle titled "Eagle" by an unknown artist. The sculpture is made of gold and depicts an eagle with its wings spread out to the sides. The eagle's body faces right; its head is turned to the right. The eagle has a small beak and talons. The talons are positioned on a cylindrical, dark gray metal object. The eagle appears to be made of textured gold with feathers engraved into its body, wings, and tail. The background of the image is light gray. A shadow is cast behind the sculpture. The sculpture appears to be mounted on a small white stand.
