Antique Wooden Decoy Duck Hand Carved Rustic Folk Art with some Remnants of original Paint c1900

Dimensions - Length 36.5cm; Height 17cm; Width 14.5cm
                
Condition - Very Good Well Worn and Used Condition. No weights. Most of the original paint has worn off leaving patches of colour around the face and neck. There is a rounded hook screwed in at the bottom of the chest, which is rusty. There are small drilled holes towards the tail on one side and towards the shoulder on the other side. Presumably, the weights were attached at these points. The duck has two screw heads as eyes. There are fissure / join lines on the bottom and top of the duck from its manufacture. The head section appears to be a separate part. The photos try to show all condition issues. The aged patina and wear to the wood speak of many years of usage in water.
