A bronze wall vase 掛花入 (kakehanaire) of elongated pear shape, with its upper section modelled as a crane’s head 鶴 (tsuru).
The long beak extends down the front, flanked by rounded eyes, while small circular details define the crown and incised lines suggest feathers along the sides. The bronze has a deep brown patina, with subtle variations in tone and texture. A flattened back and small hanging aperture allow the vase to rest against a wall.
