Woodblock Print Stuffed Bird - Eurasian Bullfinch

Regular price $ 21.00
/

The rustic and charming Eurasian bullfinch (uso) is printed on cotton using a woodblock and stuffed with rice husks. The rice husks give the perfect amount of volume and firmness to bring the life-sized, expertly shaped and printed creature to life.

The adult bullfinch males have red underparts, which are beautifully rendered as small flowers on the stuffed bird. A red tag on the string says uso on one side and "hand printed woodblock by Shinkougei" on the other. It gives a nice accent to any bird lover's room; it also works as a Christmas tree ornament.
