Brass Flagpole Eagle Sculpture

This weighty brass eagle sculpture—cast in the Fifties—is made to sit as a finial atop a flag pole.  He could also stand upon one's desk, as a decoration or as a paperweight.  In heraldry, he is described as standing abaissé (wings spread, wingtips lowered), body affronté (forward) and head turned dexter in trian aspect (turned in three-quarter profile, to his right).   (3" x 4")   sc12978a c. 1950's
