Monumental carved American Eagle measuring 72" long x 24" high by Willard Sheppard, Wateford, CT, master wood carver. Willard Sheppard worked in the Carver's Shop as a demonstrator at Old Mystic Seaport, Mystic, CT. This is a beautiful gold gilted carving and master craftsmenship! The banner on the carving reads: "Live and Let Live" with anchors painted on either end. The American Eagle is all gold gilted, with gilting on the edge of the ribbon banner. The American Eagle clutches the banner in his beak, and the American flag in his talon's. A smaller one we had last year sold for $8,500! This one is much bigger, much more impressive!
