This eagle has a good hold of the fish it has caught with its talons.
Carved in very fine detail the scales on the fish, the eagles feathers
and its sharp claws. Below the fish I have carved the waves of the ocean. |

A figurehead is an ornamental
wood sculpture; a carved and painted wooden figure or wood statue found
on the prow of sailing ships of the 16th to the 19th century.
Popular figureheads were often female or famous individuals, patriotic
themes, and mythological characters. The purpose of the figurehead
was to indicate the name of the ship since many people during that time
period could not read, to point the way, and to demonstrate the wealth
of the ships owner. | |||||
