About the Item
Finely cast bronze sculpture depicting a mother duck with her duckling, the larger bird grasping a leafy lotus stem in its beak, with a lotus seed pod resting on its back. Executed with exceptional detail, the piece captures the naturalistic texture of feathers and the graceful curves of the birds’ forms. Symbolic in Chinese culture of fidelity, harmony, and family, the subject matter suggests the piece’s East Asian origin, most likely late Qing Dynasty to early Republic period (circa 1880–1930). The rich, dark patina and intricate modeling indicate skilled craftsmanship, making it both a decorative and culturally significant object.
