Handcrafted from woven rattan and wood, the piece features a finely detailed rooster silhouette with a beautifully executed Shanghai weave pattern throughout.

The circular woven base echoes the figure above, creating a cohesive and thoughtfully balanced design.

The underside retains its original winding mechanism and metal plate, affirming its vintage authenticity. Minor scuffs and light wear to the base are present, consistent with age and use, and enhance its charming patina.
