Finely carved wooden sculpture of an eagle with its wings dramatically raised, as if in mid-flight or about to land. The eagle’s head is turned slightly to the side with its beak open, showcasing a fierce and alert expression. Its detailed plumage, especially on the wings and body, has been carefully textured with individual feather patterns, emphasizing the bird’s strength and majesty.
The eagle’s talons are gripping a fish, reinforcing its status as a powerful predator. The sculpture rests on a rectangular base with wave-like carvings, likely symbolizing water—tying into the natural setting of the eagle catching its prey.
