A Napoleonic Eagle of the First Empire (Aigle Premier Empire Modèle 1804). Gild bronze finely detailed eagle sitting on top of the gilded pedestal with attached "26" Regiment Number, mounted on what appears to be a reminder of an original flag pole. The original design was sculpted by Antoine-Denis Chaudet and then copies were cast in the workshop of Pierre-Philippe Thomire, with the first eagles presented on 5 December 1804. It was a bronze sculpture of an eagle on a plinth, with one claw resting on "Jupiter’s spindle", mounted on top of the turned wooden painted black regimental flagpole.
