      That is SO Deco Gorgeous!! Can't tell if it's an Eagle or a Goose behind the woman.
    2. Celiene Celiene, 8 years ago
      Definitely a goose.

      stunning deco!! is this framed? if so undo it it could be signed on the back.

      This is not a Goose or an Eagle. This is classic Art Deco, and a representation of "Leda and the Swan". This was a commonly found theme in metal work such as bookends and also in artwork. It is quite possible that this was originally an architectural element.

      Here is a link to the story that it is based on:

      so designed this in the deco era?
    7. Celiene Celiene, 8 years ago
      LOL - well - I knew it wasn't an eagle! I was trying to think of the story with the lady & the goose, but it was a swan.
    8. Celiene Celiene, 8 years ago
      Oh my. Louis Boucher's version! (Given the story, you now can see why this one has a sad Leda, depending on how you interpret the story.)

      YOWZA! Some depictions! I would definitely try to find who did this one.
    10. Celiene Celiene, 8 years ago
      It reminds me of some WPA works.
    11. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Getting kinky. I luv it ! LOL !!

      i had a bronze medal from the 1936 olympics, but it was stolen years ago. the artwork on it makes me think of this. kind of reminds me of the Reichstag.
    13. Celiene Celiene, 8 years ago
      Ho2cultcha - me too! That style of bird wings.
    14. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Back to the kinky. A swan has sex with a woman & who lays the "eggs"? I told friends when I 1st heard that song: Looking For Love In All The Wrong Places, "They need to get a book on anatomy" ! LOL !! Actually, I've been in stranger situations, but those I don't share in places like this.

      this must be signed somewhere! Beautiful!

      This is a really interesting piece. It is definitely Leda and the Swan but it has nazi overtones too it too -- it looks like a swastika. One of Hitler's favourite paintings was Paul Mathias Padua's Leda and the Swan, with a German maiden about to be penetrated by a Wagnerian swan. http://www.germanartgallery.eu/en/Webshop/0/product/info/Paul_Mathias_Padua,_Der_Führer_Spricht&id=105
