The Wings of Stone collection was born from a deep love of New Zealand's birdlife and a desire to give something back — a portion of every sale is donated to bird conservation, because unlike their living counterparts, these birds can't help themselves. Each piece is hand-crafted from a combination of natural stone, resin, wood and recycled metal, and polished to a fine hone. The collection is available for wholesale enquiries.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"nz-handcrafted-stone-penguin-korora","title":"NZ Handcrafted Stone Penguin | Kororā","description":"\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eStone Penguin | Kororā Sculpture\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eHandcrafted | Springstone, Resin, Reclaimed Metal \u0026amp; Wood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe little blue penguin - New Zealand’s smallest and most endearing seabird - captured in stone with irresistible charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eDesigned and crafted by Zimbabwean-born, New Zealand sculptor Jack Stobart along with his team, each Kororā is shaped from dark springstone - its deep, near-black tones perfectly evoking the penguin’s sleek back and cap.
