Bronze Cock in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, June 2010
Bronze Cock
Greek, Hellenstic, ca. 3rd-1st century BC

Accession # 21.88.51

Birds often served as finials for staves or scepters, pieces of furniture or utensils such as incense burners. While this example may have been created to stand alone, it is likely to have embellished a functional object.
