Bronze sculpture of an eagle on a tree stump, to be used as an incense burner

About the Item

This bronze sculpture represents a royal eagle standing on top of a tree stump. Its body and the stump were realized separately and mounted, the transition being right above the talon of the bird of prey. Both are made with hollow wax casting and decorated with incisions to precise the plumage of the eagle or the growth circles of the tree. A small hatch is cut at the top of the eagle’s back to serve as an incense burner. The eagle is considered the king of birds. Its tail feathers are said to be the best feathers for an arrow.
