Virgin Island Fossil Coral Figurines are not painted...
They are shot through with color as they are made. Every figurine made is unique. The technique of the artisan in laying in the colors, the batch of white fossil coral prepared for use, the temperature, the humidity, all affect how the colors will flow. No two will ever be exactly the same. All our pieces are all individually made. The Coral Studio employs no mass production techniques, only skilled craftsmen.
Kingfisher Facts
With a tough and sturdy beak to snatch his prey, the Kingfisher is well adapted to a life along the margins of the sea and shore. The ruff atop of the head is typical of many species found here in the Caribbean. He can often be seen perched on a branch just above the water, as he surveys the shallows for minnows, or hovering in mid air before plunge diving into the water for a fish.
Family: Alcedinidae
