A museum-quality heirloom sculpture by famed artist Ronald Van Ruyckevelt, 1989. The statue is from the majestic American Bald Eagle series of tributes made in honor of the revered bird by the Franklin Mint. Materials range from bronze and various precious metals, wood, clay, and fine porcelain as is the one offered here. This series has this porcelain version of the iconic predator as the best of all of its offerings and is limited to numbered pieces and made in a limited quantity. Crafted of rich porcelain. Painted entirely by hand. Marked on the underside with the following: The American Bald Eagle, Number A7/80, By Ronald Van Ruyckevelt, TFM (The Franklin Mint). A separate made in Malaysia sticker is found on the underside. The rest of the mark is imprinted with the exception of the number "A7/80" which is hand written in cursive, in gold ink.
