Finial with a Cockerel
The sculpture depicts a cockerel on top of a finial. The finial has a wide, flared base that tapers up to a narrow neck, then flares out slightly before narrowing again to hold the cockerel. The cockerel faces right and has a long, curved tail. The entire piece is made of a weathered, greenish metal. The cockerel's body and tail are decorated with intricate, swirling patterns. The background is a beige wall and floor.
