American folk art wood sculpture carved with eagle and human head. This unique patriotic stump sculpture is formed of one piece of wood whose shape looks like a soaring bird, with a wingspan of 36 inches. A spreadwinged American eagle and human head were carved into the wood by an imaginative folk artist, perhaps inspired by the legend of Icarus, the ancient Greek who tried to fly. Looped handle on the back is natural growth. Entire sculpture has its original weathered patina (bit of weathered wood slivered away on one wing tip). Early 1900's. This is a most exemplary piece of early American folk art wood carving for a sophisticated collector who wants to escape the ordinary.
