A late 20th century yellow metal and diamond set carved grey and red veined hardstone lapidary model of a cockerel
probably German, Idar-Oberstein
in the manner of Manfred Wild or Andreas Zedora von Gerlof, with realistic feather detail and features, with rose cut inset diamond eyes and claw feet, 7.5cm high

In fair to good decorative condition, the upper tail feathers have been possibly later reduced, there are some tiny minute knicks and dints and tiny chips, one or two small cracks running through the tail but these appear to be inherent to the stone, some dirt to the quills of the feathers, tiny scratches to the back of the bird but these are not detrimental to the overall look of the piece, the left eye of the bird with a tiny crack running from above the eye down to the breast of the bird, dust and dirt to crevices.
