About the Item

A rare monumental American Eagle wall sculpture in hand-hammered copper with the Great Shield of the United States. Mid 20th century. Likely commissioned for a federal building or embassy. A commanding symbol of leadership and prestige. This impressive handcrafted copper eagle represents the Bald Eagle, the national emblem of the United States, proudly displayed with the Great Shield featuring red and white stripes and a blue field of stars. The sculptural quality is remarkable, with each feather individually hammered and layered by hand. The scale, heraldic accuracy and craftsmanship strongly suggest a commission for an official federal institution, embassy or distinguished public building. The original patinated copper surface enhances the powerful presence, while the hand-painted polychrome shield adds striking color and symbolism.
