A well made Papier-mâché cricket cage with bamboo opening. The cage was made to represent a traditional Chinese house with calligraphy panels on both sides and top of the opening. Glass windows on the sides and top of the cage were imitated of the traditional Chinese garden gate design. In fact one of the glass windows (broken) was nicely done with a Chinese coin design. The body is carefully painted with bats, butterflies, floral, ?Shou? (Longevity) symbol and auspicious motif.
