This is a pair of bird-shaped pottery figurines featuring an archaic aesthetic; their forms resemble ducks, geese, or other fowl. Crafted from low-fired earthenware with substantial bodies, the pieces display traces of burial—such as grayish-white encrustations and natural abrasion—alongside patches of exposed orange-red clay, collectively evoking a sense of antiquity and the passage of time. Rather than pursuing realistic detail, the design employs concise lines to capture the birds' forms, highlighting distinctive features such as rounded bellies, short legs, upturned tails, and long beaks—a style that is both rustic and characteristic of early pottery sculpture. In terms of form and craftsmanship, these avian figurines resemble the funerary wares common from the Han through the Wei and Jin dynasties, reflecting the importance ancient people placed on poultry, scenes of daily life, and auspicious symbolism. Whether as items for an ancient pottery collection, study ornaments, or historical-style décor, they possess a unique, rustic beauty and a rich cultural atmosphere.
