Hand-Carved Sultan Tit Clip-On Bird Ornament | Basswood | 3.5" Handmade Wood Sculpture

Sultan Tit — Hand-Carved & Hand-Painted Clip-On Bird Ornament

The largest tit in the world — now carved in wood. This Sultan Tit clip-on ornament is individually hand-carved from premium basswood and hand-painted with acrylic paints to capture the male's commanding and regal presence: jet-black upperparts, throat, and wings contrasting with vivid, saturated yellow underparts — and the bird's defining glory, a long, floppy, brilliant yellow crest that crowns its head like a sultan's plume, giving this extraordinary bird its evocative name — in vivid, lifelike detail. Found in the montane forests of the eastern Himalayas, Myanmar, Thailand, southern China, and across Southeast Asia, the Sultan Tit is one of the most dramatic and sought-after sightings on any Asian birding expedition.

The built-in clip attachment lets you place it anywhere — Christmas tree branches, wreaths, garlands, houseplants, bookshelves, or gift wrapping. A versatile piece that works as seasonal décor and year-round display.

✦ Why Wooden Islands?

✦ Care Instructions

Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight and moisture. Dust gently with a soft dry cloth. Natural wood grain variation is a feature of handmade work, not a flaw.
