Hand-Carved Korean Mandarin Ducks

[Drida] Premium Korean Mandarin Wedding Ducks

  • Hand-carved in Korea
  • Pair of 2 ducks
  • 50 years of craft
  • Gift-wrap service

In Korea, a pair of wooden mandarin ducks (원앙) is the classic gift for newlyweds. Mandarin ducks are said to stay with one partner for life, so the pair stands for a happy, faithful marriage, and many couples keep theirs on display for decades.

This pair from Drida is carved and painted by hand by Shin Jung-cheol, a craftsman with over 50 years of experience making traditional Korean wooden masks (탈). The breast is chiseled in a smooth hexagon pattern, sharp lines along the base suggest feathers, and the wood is scorched to bring out its grain. No two pairs are exactly alike.

The green duck is the husband and the red one is the wife. The ribbon around the husband's beak is a gentle reminder that in married life, listening matters more than talking. The two come tied together in a bojagi, a traditional Korean cloth with a gold silk rosette, just as they're presented at Korean weddings.

Sending them as a gift? Add our gift-wrap service and we hand-wrap the gift box in Korean silk cloth, finished with a gold rosette and a decorative medallion with a tassel. Choose jujube red or teal blue.

So what's inside?

In the box A pair of hand-carved wooden mandarin ducks, each about 19 × 11 × 5.5 cm, tied together in their traditional cloth. Handcrafted in Korea by Shin Jung-cheol for Drida (드리다). Registered design (디자인 등록증) no. 30-0920262.

Gift wrap (optional) The gift box hand-wrapped in Korean silk cloth (available in jujube red or teal blue) with a gold rosette and a medallion with a tassel.

Wonderful product

We received these ducks and we're super excited to have them at our wedding table in September 2026! My fiancé is South Korea, but was adopted to Denmark as a child. So, for our wedding I wanted to incorporate something Korean and these ducks were the perfect little reminder of his culture.

The ducks are just as pictured and very well made.❤️ Thank you for awesome products!

Drida hand-carved Korean wedding ducks with red bojagi, beside a traditional Korean wooden box

A pair for a lifelong pair

In Korea, a pair of wooden mandarin ducks (원앙) is the classic gift for newlyweds. Mandarin ducks are said to stay with one partner for life, so the pair stands for a happy, faithful marriage, and many couples keep theirs on display for decades.

Each duck has a meaning too. The green duck is the husband and the red one is the wife. The ribbon tied around the husband's beak is a gentle reminder that in married life, listening matters more than talking. The two come tied together in a bojagi, a traditional Korean cloth with a gold silk rosette, just as they're presented at Korean weddings.

Carved by a master mask maker

Every pair is carved and painted by hand by Shin Jung-cheol, a craftsman with over 50 years of experience making traditional Korean wooden masks (탈), and Korea's only officially recognized inheritor of traditional mask-making.

Look closely and you'll see his hand in the details: the breast is chiseled in a smooth hexagon pattern, sharp lines along the base suggest feathers, and the wood is scorched to bring out its grain. They're individually handcrafted in Korea, not factory-made or imported.

Each duck is about 19 × 11 × 5.5 cm, small enough for a shelf or a side table and big enough to be noticed.

Registered design (디자인 등록증) no. 30-0920262.

See how they're made

Watch the workshop carve, scorch and paint each pair by hand, from a block of wood to the finished ducks.

Optional: Is it a wedding gift? Get it hand-wrapped

Choose a Bojagi Gift Wrap option (jujube red or teal blue cloth) and we wrap the pair by hand in bojagi, the traditional Korean wrapping cloth, finished with a gold silk rosette and a decorative medallion with a tassel. It's how special gifts are presented in Korea, from weddings to new homes. No need to worry about wrapping it yourself: the pair arrives beautifully wrapped and ready to give.

Ask a Question
Do the ducks come wrapped? Can I get the box gift-wrapped?

The ducks always come tied together in their traditional Korean cloth with a gold silk rosette. For a gift, add our gift-wrap service: we hand-wrap the gift box in Korean silk cloth with a gold rosette and a decorative medallion with a tassel, in jujube red or teal blue.

Is this handmade?
