Fine American Eagle Figurehead, circa 1810, this very early stately carved larger than life standing eagle shows an even gray driftwood-like surface indicative of spending most of its 208 years out in the elements. Deeply carved throughout starting from the facial features of its deep eyes and open mouth, articulated head, assertive posture standing on a rock formation with strong detailed talons and incised feathers throughout.
