The attention to detail is evident in the intricately carved feathers and the lively expressions of the birds, capturing both strength and tenderness. Roosters symbolise courage, vigilance, and protection, while hens represent fertility, family harmony, and abundance. Together, they embody an auspicious motif celebrating prosperity and household happiness. The piece comes with its original wooden box. There is visible wear from age, including abrasions, dirt, minor surface cracks, and small chips, notably on the rooster’s tail. The wooden base shows splits and signs of repair.
