The sculpture depicts an eagle in mid-flight, gripping a long pole with a pointed end in its talons. The eagle is crafted from a material resembling wood and colored in shades of brown and gold. The feathers are intricately detailed, emphasizing the texture and form of the eagle's wings as they are spread in the act of flying. The sculpture includes a large, curved band that forms an arch over the eagle, decorated with a star. This band or banner is also rendered in a wood-like color. The eagle is oriented horizontally as if soaring across the space in front of the viewer.
