Polychrome-painted Cast Iron Eagle and Shield Architectural Plaque, late 19th century, half-round spreadwing eagle figure clutching a Union shield, arrows and an olive branch in its talons, with stand, (paint loss), overall ht. 21, wd. 33 1/4 in. Provenance: Purchased from Tom Longacre. It is structurally in very good condition, much of the paint has weathered away on it and in those areas some rust is evident. The figure is mounted on a metal stand with the bolts on its wings. It is likely to have been mounted in this manner where it was originally displayed.
