A collection of twelve hand painted carved wooden miniature duck decoys. Each individual figure is carved from wood and finished with hand-applied paint to represent various species of waterfowl. The decoys are depicted in resting or swimming poses, with several examples featuring textured surface carving to simulate feather patterns. The colouration utilized across the group is diverse, incorporating tones of teal, ochre, red, and brown to mimic natural plumage.
The assortment includes representations of various species such as Mallards, Wood Ducks, and Northern Shovelers, identifiable by their distinctive bill shapes and head markings. No manufacturer’s marks, factory stamps, or artist signatures are visible on the upper portions or sides of the figures. The undersides are not visible in the provided images.
Condition report:
The collection is in generally good condition with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs to the wooden bodies or delicate bills and tails (photo 1). The hand-painted surfaces are largely intact across all twelve pieces, showing only minimal signs of surface wear (photo 2).
