Stained glass sun catcher featuring an American Bald Eagle in flight against a blue background

This stained glass sun catcher depicts an American Bald Eagle in flight, set against a vibrant blue background. The piece utilizes traditional stained glass techniques with copper foil or lead came construction, creating a decorative window hanging that allows light to filter through the colored glass pieces. Such decorative stained glass pieces became particularly popular in American homes during the 1970s and 1980s as part of a revival of interest in traditional crafts and patriotic imagery. Eagle motifs hold special appeal to collectors of Americana and patriotic memorabilia, as well as bird enthusiasts and those who appreciate handcrafted glass art. The combination of the national symbol with the artistic medium makes it a cherished decorative item.
