eagle claw

Bird of prey's grasp

Eagle claw refers to the curved, powerful talon of an eagle, adapted for seizing prey.

The term extends to anything resembling this shape—a style of furniture foot curving around a ball, a martial arts hand position with fingers bent to strike or grip, or a type of fishing hook.

The antique table had eagle claw feet.
