Large bronze Roman eagle - a photo on Flickriver

Large bronze Roman eagle

            Large bronze statue of an eagle, with wings partially open, and head turned to the viewer's left. The eagle's left leg is raised, probably to hold a globe or thunderbolt. The feathers are carefully delineated with incisions, and take different shapes and forms on the body, head, leg and wings.

Cast in several parts (head and neck; wings made separately and inserted; end of wings made separately and inserted; body; end of tail (now missing)). The eagle is far too large to have been an attribute, and it has been suggested that it stood on a column.

The end of the tail and the right foot are missing. The tip of the left wing is completely restored.

Roman, 100-200 CE
Bronze
