Using the seedpods of the Ulumbu Tree (Sterculia rogersii), Zimbabwean artists have created these charming little birds. Standing on hand-twisted wire feet, they are between 3-6 inches tall and are hand-painted in the rich, bright colors of each bird's plumage.

Dimensions:

  • 3" - 6" tall
  • 1" - 3" wide

Material:

  • Made from a seedpod

Design:

  • Hand-painted
  • wire for legs or neck
  • Colors, pose, and size may vary
  • Lumps, bumps, and cracks are common

Origin:

  • Made in Zimbabwe

Care:

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster.
  • For detailed areas (like painted beaks or wire legs), use a soft artist’s paintbrush.
  • Do not soak or wash in water. The pods are dried natural materials and can swell, crack, or deteriorate if wet.
  • If needed, wipe lightly with a slightly damp cloth, then immediately dry with a soft towel.
  • Keep in a dry environment; avoid damp rooms (bathrooms, basements) to prevent mold or warping.
  • Avoid direct, prolonged sunlight, which can fade the paint and dry out the pod, making it brittle.
