Wooden Miniature Decorative Duck Decoy

Collectibles : Folk Art : Duck Decoy

 

This colorful 10.25" wooden duck decoy is unmarked. The carver is unknown. The painting of the feathers is quite detailed, and shows some crackling from age. The eyes are glass. Decoys of this size were generally made for decorative purposes, and not working use. There are a few tiny scrapes on the end of his bill and a small chip on his tail feathers. This one needs some cleaning but I'll leave that to the person who gives him a good home.
