This fine and large eagle model is a superb example of traditional Chinese art from the early 20th Century.
The eagle is crafted from bamboo, its wings outstretched while perched on a naturalistically rendered outcrop wrought from wood. The eagle’s eyes are crafted from glass, granting the bird an animated character.
As can be seen in the pix, the wings remove to reveal a secret compartment. One wing is chipped. One talon is broken off. Also, at one time there may have been a tiny latch holding the wings to the base. Now it is attached firmly with a small unnoticeable piece of wire. The natural position of the wings is as if in flight. A few pix have the wings together for better images of the body of the eagle.
Approx measurements: Wing Span 37", max height 27" max depth 26". Also search on ebay for better pix of postings by others - not this eagle but similar.
These slight conditional aspects are factored into my asking price of $350 OBO within reason. Cash (preferred but please no bills larger than 50s), venmo or paypal. Pick-up North San Mateo near ECR Poplar. ****We only reply to inquiries including a phone number*****
