The weight of an eagle like that, mounted on the end of a seven foot pole would not be able to be handled by a single person, body builder or not. I'm of the camp that believes they were wood, covered with gold. Even then, they'd be hard to handle in strong winds or on uneven ground, steep inclines, or moving in a hurry.
