The pricket and candlestick function of the pair come by way of a prunus sprig etched with florals, and topped by a lotus leaf that has been placed within the bird’s long beak. The symbol of the lotus when paired with the crane is symbolic of purity, adding to the already present symbolic iconography within the piece. The wings are removable, revealing a place to stash small treasures in the main body of the crane, or perhaps your keys if they so happen to flank a foyer mirror. The pair are tall, standing at 29 inches, yet take up minimal table space, making them a great fit for a home or apartment looking for a pair of functional and elegant sculptures.
