An Art Deco–style animal bronze of a rooster mid-crow, head thrown back, beak open, one leg lifted as if stepping forward into its morning call. The artist contrasts finely textured, feather-by-feather detailing across the body and sweeping tail with bright polished gold on the comb, wattle, and beak — a vivid play of dark patina and gleaming highlight that brings the bird to life. Characterful and full of swagger, the piece captures the rooster at its proudest moment.
