Silver Chicken Ornament by Jusei

Depicts a rooster, a hen, and a chick gathered upon an aged tree stump with blossoming plum branches, creating a lively and harmonious scene inspired by nature. The carefully balanced composition combines sculptural sophistication with a keen observation of animal life, exemplifying the refined realism of modern Japanese metalwork.The rooster stands proudly atop the stump with an upright posture and sweeping tail feathers, while the hen rests gracefully beside him, creating a pleasing visual dialogue. A small chick perched near the base introduces a charming sense of movement and vitality, completing the tranquil family group.The birds are finely crafted in silver, their plumage rendered with delicately chased feathers that capture both texture and softness. Gilt accents highlight the combs, wattles, feet, and selected details, producing an elegant contrast against the silvery surface. The rugged tree stump, cast in a dark patinated metal, is enriched with flowering plum branches whose blossoms lend warmth and seasonal beauty to the composition.In East Asian tradition, the rooster symbolizes diligence, prosperity, and the arrival of light, while the plum blossom represents resilience, purity, and the coming of spring. Combining exceptional silversmithing with poetic natural imagery, this sculpture is an accomplished example of modern Japanese decorative metalwork and a work of considerable artistic and collectible appeal.
