Details
Each modelled as a pair of large and smaller cranes perched on a rocky outcrop encircled by rolling waves, standing on tall legs detailed with cylindrical bands, their long necks gracefully curve as the smaller crane looks backward, the taller crane with a lotus sprig in its long pointed beak, the bodies and feathers intricately picked out in black and white within gilt outline, their wings forming a cover for the hollow body, with a cast apocryphal four-character Qianlong mark

80 in. (203.2 cm.) high, overall
