Description
A pair of naturalistically cast bird figurines depicting pheasants, designed as decorative table ornaments. The figurines are made of cast white metal with a bright, polished silver-coloured finish, characteristic of silver plate. Each bird is depicted in a standing pose with long, tapering tail feathers and detailed, textured chasing across the bodies to represent plumage. One bird is posed with its head turned slightly to the left, while the other is turned to the right. The style is consistent with mid-20th-century European, specifically German, silver-plated table ornaments. No marks, characters, or symbols are visible on the figurines.
