Small Ancient Bone Carving of an Eagle
Description
A finely carved miniature bone figurine in the form of an eagle, standing upright with folded wings. Incised feather detailing and drilled perforations decorate the body, while the beak and head are clearly defined. The eagle was a powerful symbol in antiquity, representing authority, protection, and divine strength — most famously as the emblem of the Roman legions. This example may have served as an amulet, decorative inlay, or personal talisman.
