Archipelago Oystercatcher Looking Up Bird Wood Carving

The striking Oystercatcher looking up on an aged and shaped wooden block is 30 cm in height (approx) 2286. (Black and white coastal wading bird).

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.

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 Oystercatcher:

The oystercatcher is a large, stocky, black and white wading bird. It has a long, orange-red bill and reddish-pink legs. It shows a wide white wing-stripe in flight, a black tail and a white rump that extends as a 'V' between the wings. They eat mussels and cockles on the coast and mainly worms inland.
