Large armorial heraldic Eagle spread eagle wings in aluminium.

A MASSIVE HERALDIC ARMORIAL SPREAD EAGLE wall plaque or overmantle finely cast in burnished aluminium. ... with three Ducal coronets on the breast and wings. Since the early 18th century when the signs of a Spread Eagle and Three Crowns painted black & gold hung over adjoining premises at 54 Lombard Street... left by previous tenants unknown, this became the now 300 year old emblem of Barclays Bank, co-founded by James Barclay a Quaker, in the City of London. It also represents the combined heraldic emblems of Sweden and Poland from the 18th century shared Baltic neighbourhood of those countries..English 1930s.

NOTES : Casting of monuments and works of art in aluminium is a practice first used for Alfred Gilbert's statue of Eros, actually Anteros, the Greek god of requited love... in Piccadilly, in 1893 and also used for the gilded Eagle over the US Embassy in Grosvenor Square by sculptor Theodor Rozac.
