Is it a bird, is it a chain? Well, technically, it is a bit of both.
Wool box hooks to form talons, a chest made from cast iron water meter, feathers comprised of combine harvester fingers - the metallic mishmash is a wonder to behold.
While many have stopped by to admire the magnificent sculpture, few know its origins.
Five years ago, Katamatite Lions Club commissioned Urana artist Andrew Whitehead to construct the eagle in a bid to boost the town’s profile.
Mr Whitehead has built quite the reputation for his scrap-art sculptures, and his most recent work - a giant tree sculpture - will be erected in Mooroopna.
Mr Whitehead’s talent for bringing ‘had it’ materials to life has garnered him plenty of plaudits, but he has words of praise of his own — directed specifically at Katamatite residents.
“Back then I was dealing with a bloke named Rob Peachey; he was trying to promote the town as best he could, so I jumped on board,” he said.
“I sometimes check up on the eagle, and I am really happy with the community in how they have looked after it.
“There is a visitors’ book with comments from local and overseas visitors; in many towns that wouldn’t have lasted five minutes.”
One local who cannot help but admire the piece is Cobram Support and Information Service president Bob Beggs, who has visited Mr Whitehead’s shed, and has seen how the artist operates.
“The sculpture is all made out of scrap metal and was wonderfully put together by a bloke named Andrew Whitehead,” he said.
“He has them all over the place, in Shepparton, Mooroopna, Katamatite ...
“(The sculpture) is put together with nuts and bolts and bits of chain. He has all these scrap materials, and he welds them all together; it is absolutely brilliant.
“A lot of people I have talked to have commented on how good it looks.”
Mr Whitehead encouraged all passers-by to leave a comment in the book when driving through Katamatite.
