Item Details

Description

Roman, Imperial Period, 1st to 2nd century CE. A mesmerizing cast bronze figural fitting depicting a standing eagle with a frontal visage and meticulously delineated feathers on the head, chest, wings, and tail. In ancient Rome the eagle had a powerful military association and oftentimes bronze eagles would be featured as staff finials - leading armies into war. To quote a piece of historical fiction set in Roman Britain entitled "The Eagle of the Ninth" (Rosemary Sutcliff, 1954), "Eagle lost, honor lost; honor lost, all lost." Deeply symbolic! Lucite stand. Size: 1.375" W x 3.625" H (3.5 cm x 9.2 cm); 5.375" H (13.7 cm) on stand
