Wooden Desk Stand Carved With An Eagle's Head.

Desk accessory, hand-carved wooden letter holder, featuring a detailed eagle head with an open beak.
This vintage letter holder is carved from ironwood (often palo fierro from the Sonoran Desert). This ultra-dense, heavy, and dark material gives the piece its characteristic polished appearance and great sturdiness. Ironwood craftsmanship experienced a real boom in the mid-20th century, particularly in Mexico and the southern United States. Although the tradition of palo fierro originated among the Seris indigenous people of the Sonoran Desert, many workshops in Mexico and neighboring Latin American countries produced desk accessories for export during the 1950s. The eagle’s wing serves as a letter rest, photo N° 2.
In good condition. Length 17 cm, width 15 cm, height 12 cm.
