It's referred to as a Besihung hand forged figurative metal sculpture of a rooster. It's an iron metal assemblage, comprised of twisted iron rod & welded cut iron sheets. It has splayed legs, made of twisted iron rod & has a long, cupped body, capable of holding several pressed incense sticks or cones.
