The eagle holds a red scroll with traces of lettering in its beak. A pale arch surmounted by a fan of ochre rays crowns the composition. The painted surface shows scattered wear and losses, with the eagle and shield still clearly defined. This might be the finest example of a Charles Zimmerman drum with the original paint primarily intact.
