A small statue of a bird, or cock, is a toy for children. It is depicted seated on a rectangular base with three slots. The middle slot is rhombus-shaped, while the side ones are in the shape of inverted triangles.
There is a ring for suspension at the top of the back. Around the neck is a nicely shaped crest and the bird has a small sharp beak.
Wings appear close to the body, which is covered with thick feathers. The legs are barely seen due to the posture of the body.
