Native to the tropical savannas of northern Australia, it combines a vivid green back, cobalt-blue rump, purple breast, golden-yellow belly, and a boldly coloured head — red, black, or orange depending on the individual — into a palette so extraordinary it seems almost impossible for nature to have produced. This hand-carved, hand-painted basswood figurine captures all six colour zones in stunning artisan detail. Mounted on a solid \u003cstrong\u003eBlack Walnut base\u003c\/strong\u003e, the explosion of colour against rich dark grain makes this one of the most visually spectacular pieces in the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery figurine is carved and painted entirely by hand — no molds, no shortcuts.

The Gouldian Finch was once so abundant in northern Australia that flocks of thousands would descend on waterholes at dusk. Today it is rare and protected, its numbers a fraction of what they once were. This figurine is a tribute to that beauty and a reminder of what is worth protecting. Six colours. One bird.
