The snipe is a shy, beautifully camouflaged wading bird, instantly recognisable by its long straight bill and the bold cream and black stripes running across its head and back. Found across the UK and much of Europe in marshes, bogs, wet meadows and along the edges of ponds and rivers, it is a secretive bird more often heard than seen. This hand carved wooden figure captures it in a settled, sitting pose, its intricate feather detailing bringing all the character of the real bird to a shelf, windowsill or mantelpiece.
Each snipe is individually crafted and hand painted by fair-trade artisans using sustainably sourced materials, so no two pieces are exactly alike and the fine markings carry their own subtle variations. Finished with the signature Archipelago teak tag, it makes a wonderful gift for birdwatchers, wetland and wildlife lovers, or anyone who appreciates a characterful, handmade decorative piece.
