In the mists of Irish mythology, Fand stands apart — a goddess of the sea and sovereign of the Otherworld, whose name means "tear" or "pearl of beauty." Once the wife of Manannán mac Lir, the great sea god, she is a figure of otherworldly grace, wisdom, and elemental power, now hand-carved in ecological ash wood as part of our Celtic statue collection , finished with a rich lacquer that honours every carved detail.
Each piece is individually crafted — no two are identical. The carving captures Fand's connection to sea and sky — wings and feathers rendered in ash wood, evoking her mythological form as a divine bird spirit of the Irish coast.
