An early Duck Decoy, American, ca.1890-1910. Branded \"A R ANGELL\" on the base; not sure if this is the maker, owner, or both. Hand-carved, solid white cedar body with wonderful original painted surface. This former working decoy is now a fine example of American Folk Art. Displays brilliantly; highly-appropriate for your Country or Primitive setting.Condition: General wear, soiling and paint loss consistent with age, use and exposure to the elements; it has not been cleaned. The beak tip has a small area of loss, and there is a visible seam where the neck meets the body. Head turned left; this Folky Duck has some attitude! Wonderful overall profile with simple, yet elegant details throughout.See photos for complete details and close-ups. Please consider them as part of the description.
