Item Details

Description

This charming butternut duck decoy was intricately carved by the hands of W.F. Johnson in 1985, as denoted by the signature etched upon its bottom. The artisanal skill is evident in the smooth contours and the natural grain of the butternut wood, which is brought to life through its warm tones and swirling patterns. Its poised form captures the serene essence of a duck at rest, making it a delightful piece for enthusiasts of waterfowl and collectors of hand-carved decoys alike. This decoy is not only a testament to the skill of its creator but also a captivating piece of folk art that would grace any collection with its presence.
