A rare and remarkable taxidermied hornbill head, its beak sculpted with exquisite finesse and richly decorated with a high-relief scene depicting Chinese opera actors performing before architecturally designed pavilions, populated by figures and children amidst a vibrant setting.
The piece rests on a carved and openwork wooden base, adorned with floral and fruit motifs, specially designed for its display.
A decorative work of exceptional quality, reflecting the 19th-century Chinese taste for narrative and symbolic scenes.
