I purchased the large eagle to sit atop support posts my husband erected to aid our sagging gate.  I turned the posts themselves into patriotic masterpieces that are a wonderful accent to my "Horses of Honor" stockade fence.  I envisioned an eagle that was coming in for a landing, and that is exactly what I got.  The colors are vibrant and realistic and the intricate detail feathering of the wings is impressive and adds to the realism.  We call him "Freedom," and we are very happy with this purchase.
