31 IN Cast Iron Eagle - Cleveland Post Office, ca. 1920 - This architectural cast iron sculpture depicts a spread-wing eagle in a lowered, aggressive posture with its beak open, perched atop a stylized rocky outcrop. The hollow-cast iron construction features a heavily textured surface finished in a dark, weathered brown and black patina. The eagle is designed in three primary sections, with the two wings joined to the body by visible slotted steel screws at the shoulder and rear attachment points. The base is cast with an open, irregular underside revealing the interior thickness of the iron.
