Yes, it's an eagle. Yes, it's a Roman headdress. Yes, it is a skull. Yes, it is a money bank!

The eagle represented the Roman empire and instilled fear and respect in the ordinary man on the street. Julius Caesar personally sanctified the eagle.

The Roman eagle was also important in the study of Biblical archaeology - as it symbolized divinity, the bird that comes from above.

This medieval money bank was hand painted on resin. Dimensions: 5 1/8" x 8 1/8" x 6 1/4"
