Hand-Carved Rock Dove Clip-On Bird Ornament | Basswood | 4" Handmade Wood Sculpture

Rock Dove — Hand-Carved & Hand-Painted Clip-On Bird Ornament

The bird that has lived alongside humans for thousands of years, now carved in wood. This Rock Dove clip-on ornament — the ornithological name for the common pigeon (Columba livia) — is individually hand-carved from premium basswood and hand-painted with acrylic paints to capture the bird's blue-grey plumage, iridescent green-and-purple neck feathers, and distinctive wing bars — in vivid, lifelike detail.

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?

Every piece in our collection is crafted by hand in small batches using sustainably sourced hardwoods and traditional carving techniques. This is not mass-produced seasonal décor — it is a small work of art made to last well beyond the holidays.

✦ 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.
