The Masters Edition Woodcarvings Bald Eagle Sculpture

This is a substantial hand-painted wood carving of a perched Bald Eagle, identified by the accompanying tag as part of 'The Masters Edition Woodcarvings' collection. The sculpture is rendered in a folk-art style with stylized smooth contours and textured painted details representing feathers. It features the iconic white head and tail of a mature bald eagle, a dark brown body, and a yellow hooked beak. The eagle is positioned vertically on a naturalistic wooden branch or stump base. The piece is mounted on a circular dark-finished wooden plinth which provides stability for its significant height. The overall construction appears to be high-quality solid wood or a heavy composite designed to mimic a traditional chainsaw or hand-carved aesthetic. The color palette utilizes earthy tones with a matte finish. Regarding condition, the piece shows some light surface dust and minor scuffing consistent with display. There are no visible major cracks or losses in the wood. The paint application remains vibrant, though some natural patination or fading may be present due to age. This contemporary decorative piece likely dates from the late 20th to early 21st century and is designed as a rustic statement piece for interior decor.
