Māori admired the Kōtare or Kingfisher for being like a watchful sentry. The bird perches motionless, then attacks its prey in a sudden blur. More common in the North Island than the South Island of Aotearoa, the Kōtare prefers open water or countryside with elevated perches for hunting and fishing. Living mainly in pairs, they’re often seen presenting a distinctive silhouette on power poles, fence posts and washing lines throughout the country. This stunningly crafted cast glass Kōtare/Kingfisher bird is created by the incredible glass studio, Luke Jacomb Studio. It has a screw in the back so it can easily be screwed directly into your wall. Looks beautiful alone or as part of a collection. Dimensions (approx.): L12cm x W11cm x D14cm Cast glass with set screw fitting. Can be mounted on any type of wall. Available in a variety of colours (Please note the colour previews may show a different species of bird as an example of the colour). Each bird is hand made and unique so your order may vary slightly from the photo. Actual colours may vary. This is due to the fact that every computer monitor has a different capability to display colours and that everyone sees these colours differently. We cannot guarantee that the colour you see accurately portrays the true colour of the product. Please Note: Each bird is hand made to order by the Luke Jacomb Studio. Production time is usually 6–8 weeks, depending on the studio’s schedule.
