About the Item

This sculptural work depicts a dramatic scene of a struggle between a mighty eagle and a snake. The eagle, a symbol of strength, courage and victory, has spread its wings wide, demonstrating its power and determination. Its beak is open in a threatening gesture, and its claws have firmly grasped the snake, which is trying to resist. The snake symbolizes cunning, danger or evil, which the eagle is fighting. The composition conveys the tension of the struggle and the dynamics of movement - from the spread of the wings to the bend of the snake's body. The sculpture evokes strong emotions and can have deep symbolism: the victory of good over evil, strength over cunning or nature over threats.
