Dia250xH450, China
This is a birdcage both for raising a bird at home and for “walking” the bird. The Chinese believed that even for home kept birds, they should be meeting with their birdy friends to share their songs. In the south, this gathering would happen daily at the teahouse, usually in the morning over dim sum where the owners should chat with their friends and the birds theirs.
There are also the attachment to go with it; bird feed bowl, bird feeding cage.
