The Kiwi Statuette was fabricated within 1899-1903 under the supervision of the most prominent work master in the House of Carl Fabergé – Michael Perchin. The corpus of the figurine was carved in agate which is a reflection of the early 18th century Russian fashion for objects made of semi-precious stones. The legs and beak are made of gold while the eyes are manufactured of rubies giving them a realistic look. The statuette is considered as one of the most remarkable works of Fabergé.
