Curlew Standing

A beautifully hand carved and painted wooden carving of a curlew standing.

With its slender down curved bill the Curlew can probe deeply into the mud in estuaries and salt marshes.

Its distinctive cry, which echoes its name, is unmistakable once identified and thereafter always reminiscent of the empty places this bird inhabits.

In spring the bird’s territorial call is a bubbly rising crescendo of notes, which can be heard over its upland breeding grounds.

Intended for interior display, each bird has been skilfully hand carved by village craftsmen on the island of Bali in Indonesia.

They are produced under fair trading conditions to benefit the village community as well as the producer and have been painted using lead free paints and local replaceable softwood.

Due to the handmade and painted nature of this product, there may be slight variations in colour and distressing from the images shown as each has its own individual character.

Simple, elegant decoration beautifully hand carved and painted.
