Main bodies are cast‑bronze, feet are attached by screws, original factory construction. The rooster stands proud with raised tail feathers, while the hen bows gently in an affectionate pose. Fine chiselled feather‑work shows rich detail. The surface combines gilding and silver‑washed patina, with hand‑painted red accents for the combs and wattles. In Japanese culture, chickens symbolise good fortune and harmonious family life. This zodiac‑themed okimono is suitable for home display and collectible purposes. There is a cast mark on the base. It comes with its original paulownia storage tomobako (共箱), inscribed “Dōsei Tori (銅製 酉)”. Due to age, the bronze shows natural oxidation and wear from use. No cracks, no repairs. Minor wear to the red painted accents, small knocks to edges. Original tomobako exhibits dust and age‑related patina. Overall condition is good.
