These animal-style wares included birds, elephants, frogs, rabbits, and other mythological creatures. Bird shapes in ceramics, statuary, or architectural motifs in general have been equated with celestial beings because of their ability to fly. They are seen as intermediaries between the earth and the heavenly realms or as messengers to the gods."},"invno":{"label":"Object number","value":"95.072.150"},"description":{"label":"Description","value":"Porcelanous water dropper modeled in the form of two swimming ducks.
