A close-up, upward-angled photograph depicts a gilded, ornate eagle sculpture. The eagle, rendered in a stylized manner, features an open beak, prominent scaled feathers on its body, and layered wings, all finished in a metallic gold paint or gilding exhibiting signs of wear and dust accumulation. Behind the eagle, an elaborate gilded framework incorporating scrollwork and a circular, crown-like motif with beaded detailing is partially visible. A small red element, possibly a cord or fabric, is present in the lower-left foreground beneath the eagle's wing. The background is dimly lit and out of focus, revealing a muted, light-colored surface in the upper left with visible particulate matter, consistent with an indoor, possibly storage, environment. No human figures are present. The scene is static. This specific gilded eagle is a prominent decorative element from the Golden Coach (Gouden Koets) of Ghent, which is typically housed and displayed at the STAM - Ghent City Museum, Ghent, Belgium.
