Heron perched on a dragon-headed chimera turtle, patinated bronze sculpture, the bird holds in its beak a branch which is removable
The Mythical Crane resting on the Celestial Turtle Lo Shu - the heron's legs have been restored
In feng shui the Crane is a mythical bird just like the Phoenix. It is the bird of immortality, symbol of the Patriarch of the Winged Kingdom, bringing happiness and longevity. It can live 1000 years without consuming any food but only water.
The Turtle under the Crane is one of the four celestial animals (the Dragon, the Phoenix, the Tiger, and the Turtle) and in Feng Shui practice it is as important as the Dragon. Turtles are signs of longevity, stability, good fortune, support and protection. Their place is in the North or in the rear part of the house.
Total height 34 cm, height of the bronze without the plant 23 cm
