How do you make that? I mean, did a professional sculptor make the bird, or did you just paint something you picked up on the flea market?

I don't know how it was constructed, but the eagle is covered in gold and the base in silversheet. I guess H.J is right with the wax sculpture and bronze casting, as that seems the most logical way of doing it.

Bronze?
hock: I thought those are supposed to be golden!
Seriously, though, a great looking piece.

Really? I have the impression I read somewhere that AQVILAE were silver...
And that's a gorgeous one- my hat's off the the sculptor :wink:

Looks really great!! Much attention to detail. Nice size too. Was it made with a lost wax procedure? I do hope they made a good mold and will be taking orders!
