This fireback was created to commemorate the two-hundredth anniversary of the American Bald
Eagle's use on the Great Seal of the United States. Filled with symbolic references, the Bald Eagle is depicted holding a banner with the motto
"BE LIBERTY THINE" in it's right talon while in it's left are arrows and an olive branch.
Surrounding the Eagle's head are thirteen stars with thirty-seven others in the background.
Behind the Eagle is a sunburst with seven major and six minor rays piercing the clouds.
This fireback was designed to fit fireplace inserts and smaller fireplaces.
