Antique cast bronze high relief eagle lectern - 20th

About the Item

An eagle lectern is a lectern in the shape of an eagle on whose outstretched wings the Bible or other texts rest.[1] They are common in Christian churches and may be in stone, wood or metal, usually brass and bronze There are several theories regarding the symbolism of the eagle lectern. It is sometimes said to have derived from the belief that the bird was capable of staring into the sun and that Christians similarly were able to gaze unflinchingly at the revelation of the divine word.[1] Alternatively, the eagle was believed to be the bird that flew highest in the sky and was therefore closest to heaven, and symbolised the carrying of the word of God to the four corners of the world.[3] The eagle is also the symbol of John the Apostle, and for this reason may have come to represent the inspiration of the gospels as a whole.[4] Another theory holds that the eagle represents Christ.

Vintage Cast-Iron Eagle Sculpture, Early 20th Century

Located in Colorado Springs, CO

This is a cast-iron figural eagle doorstop, circa early 20th century. The eagle is depicted with wings spread wide, perched and mounted to a square marble base.
