This hand-carved relief sculpture depicts a resting kiwi bird, carved directly into a solid section of native New Zealand kauri timber. The bird’s elongated beak, rounded body, and tucked posture are rendered with a quiet sensitivity, emerging organically from the natural contours of the wood.
The carving retains its original bark edges and natural fissures, emphasizing the raw beauty of the kauri slab while contrasting with the smoothly worked interior relief. An original hanging tag accompanies the piece, reading: “Handcrafted from New Zealand Native Timber – Kauri – Jiries Giacaman, Auckland, N.Z.” This documentation adds authenticity and collectible appeal.
Both sculptural and textural, this piece works beautifully as a shelf object, mantel display, or focal accent in a curated folk art or nature-inspired interior.
