I've carved this swooping bald eagle sculpture from garden ice granite from Australia. The black and white striated granite is speckled with red garnets, so the polished stone looks brown from a distance, emulating the body feathers of this magnificent bird. I've polished the body and wings, but the head and tail feathers are honed so they appear white by contrast.

The eagle is swooping in a tight circle and looking downward as if sighting a prey and is about to dive down. I've left part of the original stone as a triangular base for the sculpture and left is honed so the raptor is highlighted, yet firmly supported. 

It is a surprisingly light weight sculpture for its size and material.
