Fashioned from solid pine, the eagle stands upright with wings tucked at his sides, staring straight ahead with a steady, dignified presence. His wing and tail feathers are deeply and deliberately carved, showing the maker’s hand in every groove. The surface has developed a warm, dark patina over time, adding depth and richness to the already expressive form. Like so much of American Folk Art, this piece wasn’t made for a gallery—it was made by someone with skill, imagination, and a desire to create something meaningful from everyday materials. Rooted in tradition but never stiff or fussy, this eagle brings with him a sense of strength, humility, and handmade beauty. A true original, he’s as sculptural as he is symbolic—an enduring icon of craft and country. See less
