Cain did many fine sculptures of game birds and they were exceptionally well modeled and detailed. Here he shows a cock pheasant with his hen sitting down beside some foliage which is made to be a match holder. Cain did several decorative pieces such as candlesticks, inkwells, boxes and matchsafes but they are not often found today. This rare bronze is finished with a rich dark brown, black and green patina and is a fine example of Cain's work.
