Bird? .... maybe an eagle?

[Tigerdude]

Found this beat up brass piece. Same area I'm finding civil war artifacts. You can see the tail is torn away from body and head is completely missing though it looks like it would be a separate piece . Any ideas?

Looks like the foot off of a jewellery box or something similar. I don't see the bird though?
