Hand-Carved Wooden Eagle Figurine
This item is a hand-carved wooden sculpture of an eagle, likely an American Bald Eagle, perched on a rustic natural wood base. The piece is approximately 14 to 16 inches tall and is crafted from a light-to-medium toned hardwood, possibly teak or mahogany, featuring a warm honey-colored finish. The carving showcases detailed texture throughout the plumage, with deeply incised lines representing the individual vanes of the flight and tail feathers. The wings are folded against the body, and the head is turned in a profile view, highlighting a prominent curved beak and stylized orbital ridges. The transition between the neck and the shoulders is marked by a cross-hatched pattern to simulate smaller downy feathers. The condition appears to be fair to good, with visible evidence of aging including a small dark scuff or indentation on the lower tail feathers and a natural wood knot visible on the base. There is no immediate evidence of a maker's mark or signature in the visible area. The style is characteristic of late 20th-century decorative folk art, displaying mid-range craftsmanship where the focus is on texture rather than hyper-realistic anatomical precision.
