Carved Eagle on Circular Plaque, ca 1860-1876
Located in York County, PA
CARVED EAGLE ON A CIRCULAR PLAQUE, IN A VOLUPTOUOUS AND WHIMSICAL STYLE, WITH WINGS REMINISCNET OF THOSE ON TOMBSTONE ANGELS, 3rd QUARTER 19th CENTURY
Diminutive, hand-carved eagle on a circular plaque, found in Maine, with voluptuous form and wings reminiscent of the angels found on early American tombstones. Different than anything I have seen and especially pleasing to the eye, the gold-painted surface is early, save for at the tips of each wing, which I restored due to losses endured between the mid-19th century (likely during the 3rd quarter) and the present. The wood is pine. The carving was formerly part of the personal collection of Maine antiques...
