A pair of miniature pheasants.
The matchbox next to them is a standard size found in Japan.
The male is approximately 6 cm H, and the female is approximately 4.7 cm H.
From head to tail, the male is approximately 4 cm W, and the female is approximately 5.8 cm W. The base diameter is approximately 2 cm.
Their expressions are heartwarming. Please take a look at the intricate patterns on the female.
It's common for birds, but I used to find it very mysterious how plain the females were compared to the showy males.
Peacocks are the prime example. The male peacock might not know how beautiful he is unless he looks in a mirror... But if he can't understand mirrors, would he not recognize himself?
The reflection in the mirror is a two-dimensional rival that cannot be kicked...
The age is from the mid-1900s onwards.
The vintage condition is good and clean.
