A soaring eagle hovering above swirling clouds. Realistically carved and polished red pine with oil finishing, depicting the great bird with beautiful overlapping woven feathers and extended four-toed talons, mounted on top of an elaborately carved through the labyrinthine pedestal, featured in a stylized representation of Japanese cloud motif. The red pine (Miyajima) okimono is wonderfully preserved with all its intricacies intact; there is a horizontal shrinkage split near the back of the pedestal, the eagle statue is overall in very good condition.
