The Kien Lung Cock is an exquisite and intricately crafted figurine from the Kien Lung period, circa 1916. This magnificent piece is part of the esteemed collection of Messrs. Stoner & Evans, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the East. The Kien Lung Cock, made of porcelain, is a vibrant and colorful representation of a rooster, a symbol of courage and fidelity in Chinese mythology. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in the lifelike depiction of the bird's feathers, each one carefully modeled and painted to create a stunning visual effect. The cock's beady eyes and sharp comb add to its lifelike appearance, while its regal posture exudes a sense of pride and power. The Kien Lung period, named after the Kangxi Emperor's reign name, is known for its exceptional craftsmanship and artistic achievements. This figurine is a testament to the skill and artistry of the artisans of the time, who were able to create such a beautiful and intricate piece. This photograph of the Kien Lung Cock is from the October volume of a color magazine, preserved in the Mary Evans Prints Online archives. The image offers a rare glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of this oriental artifact and the cultural significance it holds. The Kien Lung Cock is not only a stunning work of art but also a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of China during the Kien Lung period.
