Description: | This object is composed of an eagle who grasps a rams head in its claws. The eagle faces forwards with its head turned to the left. Both creatures have been sculpted so as to appear naturalistic. The head of the ram has been squared off at the neck to form a base. The patterning on the eagles body and rams head is raised giving the object texture. The raised areas have been polished smooth and have a shiny surface so as to contast with the recessed areas which have been left matt. The object is made from serpentine - the raised areas are black in colour whereas the rest of the object is brown.
