Description from the seller
This refined silver sculpture represents a superb example of micro-fusion and chasing of Eastern silverware, crafted in Japan from the late Meiji period or the early Taisho period.
The work depicts a rooster caught in a moment of extreme dynamism, with its beak open in a vibrant song and its posture leaning forward, showcasing technical mastery capable of infusing vitality into the precious metal.
The figure stands out for its incredible attention to naturalistic detail. The plumage is rendered through a complex layering of embossed and finely engraved elements, creating a play of light and shadow that is particularly deep on the magnificent curved tail. The texture of the legs, scaly and realistic, and the definition of the crest and wattles demonstrate the artisan's skill in handling silver with the precision of a jeweler.
Accurate and tracked shipping, carried out with appropriate materials.
