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