Door knocker, cast bronze, size 21 cm. The tortoise hangs by its mouth on a stick (which doubles as a hinge), which two ducks are carrying in their beaks. According to a fable, her wish to be able to fly is fulfilled. But she falls because she opens her mouth with excitement. Everyone can draw the moral of the story for themselves.
