_USNM 62055-M, 62056-M (SK-1808, 1809). Figure 39._

[Illustration: FIGURE 39]

This eagle is similar to the 1821 pattern, although somewhat more

compact in design. It is struck in brass, has wings upraised, head to

the right, shield on breast, olive branch in right talon, and three

arrows in left talon. The open horn, struck in brass and silvered, is

suspended, with bell to the right, by four twisted cords tied in a

3-leaf-clover knot; the tassels on the four cord-ends hang below.
