A bamboo root duck wearing a woven straw hat and a hand-painted teal apron with a pocket full of garden tools and a posy of flowers. The natural bamboo grain shows through the body where the apron ends. Carved in Bali from bamboo root, the upright stance and rounded form follow the shape of the uncarved material. Sits on a windowsill or shelf.
Each piece is carved and painted by hand, so the pose and apron detail vary slightly.
