British Design and Innovation is at the very core of Archipelago, renowned for their beautiful wildlife wood carvings.  Each piece is hand carved and painted so every one is unique.

From the first sketches to the final product, the Archipelago design team work directly with Fair Trade skilled carvers and sculptors to carefully manage the entire creative process.

All products are made from sustainable wood, giving an authentic and highly individual character to every piece made which is instantly recognisable.

Each piece comes with the "Archipelago" TEAK TAG with logo and branding.

These stunning wood carvings make unique and wonderful gifts.

Size: 34 × 36 × 11 cm

Please note, these beautiful items are all handmade and hand painted and as such each will be slightly different, the birds can vary a little in shade, painting and stance and the bases will differ as each piece of carefully chosen wood will be naturally individual.  These characteristics are what make each piece unique. The images shown are to give you an idea of what you will receive.

Here are some interesting facts about the Godwit:

The godwits are a group of large, long-billed, long-legged and strongly migratory wader birds. Their long bills allow them to probe deeply in the sand for aquatic worms and molluscs. They frequent tidal shorelines, breeding in northern climates in summer and migrating south in winter. In their winter range, they flock together where food is plentiful.

They can be distinguished from the curlews by their straight or slightly upturned bills, and from the dowitchers by their longer legs.
