Antique Bronze American Bald Eagle

A 19th century life size bronze sculpture of an American bald eagle In the Old World refered to as the Golden Eagle. The sculpture has magnificent detail, every feather is highly detailed with huge talon feet on a flowing branch. I believe this eagle was once part of a podium/lectern. It has two spaces in the wings where obviously something was attached to it. The surface patina is rich and wonderful. You can tell it has been assembled in sections as a lot of bronzes of that time period were. There are no makers or foundry marks found.

Measurements: 45 ½” wide from tip to tip and 25” high at the highest point.
