Vintage hand-carved wooden Kiwi bird desk accessory / inkwell, likely mid-20th century and produced for the New Zealand souvenir or export market.
This piece features a finely carved kiwi bird with textured feather detailing, mounted on a sculpted wood base designed to resemble natural rock. The circular recess beside the bird is intended to hold an ink insert, typical of vintage inkwell desk pieces. The original insert is no longer present, which is common with examples of this age.
The underside retains a period educational label titled “THE KIWI,” describing the bird’s habits and species. Original labels like this are increasingly uncommon and add to the collectible appeal.
