Naturalistically cast and finely detailed, one crane is shown with its head raised skyward, while the other holds its beak slightly open in a gentle call. Both figures are carefully modelled, with layered, textured feathers and finely rendered facial features.
The surface is finished in a warm reddish-brown patina.

When shipped, a certificate of authenticity will be included.
