Description
Bring the museum home
The eagle had been used as a symbol of governmental power since Roman times. The eagle (aquila) was the bird of Jupiter and was a symbol of strength, courage and immortality. The Founding Fathers of the United States made an appropriate choice when they selected the bald eagle as the emblem of the nation. The fierce beauty and proud independence of this great bird aptly symbolizes the strength and freedom of America.
Handmade by Italian artisans who understand their craft, these sculptures were created using enhanced marble from the very same Carrara quarry Michelangelo chose in the late 15th century. The provenance of the marble gives these reproductions an extra layer of luxurious authenticity. These are works of art that deserve to be seen, whether in a museum or in your home.
