This charming sandpiper is skilfully hand‑carved from Indonesian albizia, known locally as 'silk tree', and finished with vibrant, hand‑painted detail. At 25cm tall it makes a striking yet compact decorative piece for shelves, mantels and side tables.
Each sculpture is crafted by hand so no two are identical; finish, paint tones and carving details will vary slightly from piece to piece. That individuality gives each bird character and makes it a considered gift or collector’s item for lovers of coastal and wildlife decor.
Lightweight and tactile, the carving captures the sandpiper’s bobbing posture and fine painted markings. It’s designed to be displayed indoors where the painted finish can be enjoyed and preserved for years.
Because every item is hand‑finished, dimensions are approximate and the finish may vary.
