Eagle still bank late 19th-early 20th century

This anonymous, late 19th-early 20th century, ceramic sculpture of an eagle, features a detailed depiction of the bird's plumage with a red beak, and red accents on the base. This small sculpture, on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, showcases the craftsmanship of its anonymous creator and reflects the popular American subject matter of the period. The eagle, a symbol of the United States, was often featured in art, and this simple but effective sculpture exemplifies its enduring appeal.
