We study the {eta}{yields}{gamma}{gamma}, {eta}{yields}{gamma}{mu}{sup -}{mu}{sup +} and {eta}{yields}{pi}{sup 0}{gamma}{gamma} decays using an extended three-flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model that includes the instanton induced U{sub A}(1) breaking interaction. We find that the {eta}-meson mass and {eta} decay widths are in good agreement with the experimental values when the U{sub A}(1) breaking is rather strong.
