Vintage Hand Carved Wood Eagle Wings Sculpture Raised Dark Hardwood Folk Art

Eagles with wings spread wide are a favorite subject for folk carvers, and this one has real presence. It is carved from dense, dark hardwood, with the feathers cut into the raised wings and a strong hooked beak. The eagle appears to be carved from one piece of wood, and the rough, bark-like natural base is left as it grew, so it looks like it is gripping a weathered rock. It would sit well on a shelf, mantel or desk, in a cabin, a den or a Southwestern-style room, and it will appeal to bird lovers and folk art collectors.
