A most unusual pair of late 19th century bronze figures depicting caricatures of a jackdaw and crow, each with human bodies including torso, legs and arms,  and tail feathers with a bird head, each figure is dressed in theatrical costume whilst performing a stage.

 

These most interesting and amusing bronze figures are mainly finished with a dark brown patination; in contrast, the head and feathers are gilt.

 

Each bronze is mounted onto a stepped rectangular bronze base which is further enhanced with a green figured and polished marble plinth with a suede leather protective lining to the underside.

 

French, circa 1880

 

Dimensions of the crow:

Height 20cm x width 12cm x depth 7.5cm

 

The jackdaw is slightly smaller but has the same matching base and plinth.
