The sculpture depicts an eagle with its wings outstretched. The eagle is primarily a dark color with shades of deep brown and black, while the beak and talons are lighter. The sculpture appears to be carved wood, evident through the texture and detailing. The craftsmanship captures the eagle's majestic stance, detailed feathers, and alert expression. The presentation of the sculpture emphasizes the dynamic posture of the bird.
