Vegetable Slicer

The vegetable slicer made of cast bronze is in the form of a stylized rooster. The belly of the bird is a flat platform with four small legs and adorned with incised floral designs. The long and carved neck jutting out of the platform ends to form the head of the bird. On the inner side of the neck an iron blade is affixed.
While cutting vegetables, the user presses the knee or foot over the platform and slices them with the sharp edge of the blade. The slicer is designed so elegantly that it appeals as a piece of sculpture.
