Description: | Two eagles on exterior walls of Victoria public house representing Truman's Eagle brand beers. At first floor height across the corner of the pub above the door is a panel of white tiles with the name of the pub and on the upper half of this, a relief of an eagle, also in ceramic, with outstretched wings projecting right out from the wall. Painted gold. It is standing on an ornate platform also projecting from the wall, with tails of fruit hanging down on either side. The eagle has been constructed in four sections. On the east wall, at ground floor height, there are two windows with a third space filled with a tiling panel matching the tiling which clads the whole of the ground floor. The panel is white in a black surround with a black eagle in moulded relief on it. The wings are half folded and it has a gold beak and claws. The whole eagle seems to be made in one piece except for the legs. There is black painted(?) raised lettering across the panel, matching the lettering in a band of black on white round the top of the building. | Subjects: | Sculpture | Source: | Vads | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=6980... | Go to resource |
