"Let America Be America" LE Bill of Rights Eagle Paperweight

Facing opposition at first, the Bald Eagle is today unquestionably the national emblem of the United States of America. Previously decimated throughout the USA, now protected by law, the Bald Eagles still survive in substantial numbers in Canada and Alaska, while migrating to the U.S. The Eagles hunt and fish with deadly skill. Capable of swooping and diving at high speeds, they demonstrate remarkable cunning and courage. Known to mate for life the Eagles are dedicated to their young as excellent parents and defenders of their nest. Courtship involves 'cartwheeling' as a pair to build trust and falcon swoops by the male 'diving pell-mell toward the ground' over and over again to impress his mate.-

A tribute to the Bill of Rights, this guilded and hand painted Eagle is set on a special opalescent backdrop within our Victorian crystal and flag pattern baked enamel pewter base as "Desk Jewelry by Charles Hill". Limited Edition of 3000.
