Antique wooden carved console / wall support (Black Forest / style Brienz).

Date: Approximately 1890 – 1910.
7.7 kg 64X30 solid handmade wooden sculpture (likely walnut, due to the 7.7 kg) depicting a scene of wildlife, with a large eagle attacking a deer.
The two metal plates with keyhole-shaped cutouts indicate that the object is hung horizontally. It was used as a decorative wall base (console), on which a shelf could be placed, or as a hanger for hunting weapons or hats. However, it can be used in various ways.
The flat cut on the back and the placement of the metal connectors is typical work for heavy European wood carvings from the period 1880–1920 (Black Forest style). It has wear on the eagle's head, and the deer's neck has a type of axis that rotates it.
