Brass sculpture on a small marble column with a square stone base. A crane stands on the turtle and fends off two snakes, Total height 32 cm. It is a European work (presumably from France / Belle Epoque), but the motif is clearly based on Japanese models. Japonism almost became a fad towards the end of the 19th century, due to the world exhibitions in Paris (1889 and 1900).
