By, Evertt Pratt, Yarmouth, Maine. Original painted surface. Like example illustrated page 129, " The American Eagle", by Philip Isaacson, 

literature: " Patterned after the lectern eagles, it's feather less legs, supported on half ball, are a convincing suggestion of the legs it's carver would have seen on a chicken, and it's head is simply a terminus of its neck rather than a major anatomical featere."

a wonderful example of American Folf Art in excellent,  untouched, original bright paint.
