1960s Hand-Beaten Polychrome Copper Wall-Hanging Picture Of Fighint Cockerels

A very large and eye-catching wall-hanging picture of hand-worked sheet copper depicting a pair of dramatic fighting cocks/roosters, with the copper surface bearing a darkening patina and the cocks’ wattles and cockscombs picked out in red paint. It dates to the 1960s, and was produced in germany by a company called ‘sb’. The copper is mounted onto a thick backboard, with a mounted plate for hanging on the wall. The picture bears its original label in the bottom left corner: kupferrelief – sb – handarbeit (copper relief – sb – handmade).
