The image shows an impressive architectural element featuring two stylized eagles (or other birds of prey) symmetrically positioned on a corner fragment of a building facade. The sculptures are crafted in light-colored stone and demonstrate meticulous attention to the detailing of the plumage.
The birds are mounted on decorative vertical pilasters with a geometric ornament in the Art Deco style. A notable diagonal lattice structure on the pilasters creates an effect of depth and interplay of light and shadow. The corner placement of this architectural element emphasizes the verticality of the composition and creates a dramatic accent on the facade.
The approach to decoration is characteristic of historic buildings from the first half of the 20th century — combining stylized natural forms with geometric rigor. A crack is visible between the elements, indicating the need for restoration work. The overall composition demonstrates the influence of Art Deco style with its affinity for monumentality, symmetry, and stylized natural forms.
