Obsidian cockerel, China, 20th century.

Condition as shown in the photographs; the beak is chipped, there are minor scratches to the tail and plumage, and the lower corners are slightly worn
Interventions: no restoration work was identified.
The decorative base and the symbolic representation of the cockerel may suggest the function of an auspicious decorative object (the cockerel is regarded as a symbol of vigilance and good fortune in Chinese culture). The finish and the detail indicate a hand-worked piece of a high technical standard.
