About the Item
This is a noticeable and expensive hobby in the Chinese culture for keeping crickets as pets in a small cage. It began in China as early as the Tang Dynasty, (618-907). By their chirping "songs", crickets were caught at the end of summer and kept in ornate cages throughout the winter, often placed on the bedside. The slender form of this late 19th-century cricket cage indicates it was designed to be portable, carried around in a pocket, or strung on a waistband.
This is a Bamboo bar closure and hardwood made for the roof and floor and an operable gate that can be pushed up to open and allow the cricket to be placed into the space.
In addition to the Gourd Cage, there is a live-modelled Cricket made of metal. It can be placed into the cage. The metal cricket possibly was made around the 1960s.
