Hand Carved Wooden Duck with Swim Ring - Cute Animal Figurine, Chinese Wood Carving, Gift
A happy little duck wearing a swim ring — carved by hand from three different woods in the 650-year-old carving tradition of Yueqing, China.
Playful, well-made, and small enough to fit anywhere. The duck's body, ring, and base are carved from separate woods chosen for their natural colors, so the contrast you see is the wood itself — no paint, no stain.

Three woods, three colors
Working with several hardwoods in one small carving is considerably harder than using a single block. Each wood cuts differently and has its own grain direction, so the artisan adjusts technique between sections. That's what gives this piece its clean color separation.
A small gift that lands
Animal carvings are the easiest kind of gift to give — they don't require knowing someone's taste, and they suit a nursery, a bathroom shelf, or an office desk. This one has enough humor to feel personal.
Care
Keep dry. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight and high humidity.
Please note
Hand-carved from natural hardwoods — grain, color, and tone vary slightly from piece to piece. These variations are the signature of genuine handmade work, not defects.
