Patriotic Figurine Appraisal

Bald Eagle and American Flag Figurine

This item is a decorative figurine depicting a majestic bald eagle alongside a draped American flag, mounted on a wooden base. The eagle is captured in a dynamic pose, seemingly in mid-flight or about to land, with its wings partially spread. Its plumage is intricately detailed, showcasing shades of dark brown on the body and wings, contrasting with the iconic white head and tail feathers. The beak is a distinct yellow-orange, and the eyes are sharply rendered. The American flag is depicted with flowing folds, displaying the traditional red and white stripes and a blue canton with white stars, though the precise number of stars is not fully visible. A golden finial or flagpole top is visible at the upper left of the flag. The entire sculpture rests on what appears to be a light brown, possibly mahogany or stained wood, oval-shaped base. The materials used seem to be resin or a similar composite material for the eagle and flag, carefully hand-painted to achieve realistic textures and colors. The craftsmanship suggests a focus on patriotic themes and wildlife art. There are no immediate visible condition issues such as chips, cracks, or repairs, and the paint finish appears well-preserved, indicating good care or relatively recent production. The detail in the feathers and fabric texture suggests a moderate to high level of quality in its manufacture. The style is representational, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century.
