Duck decoy - Vintage Hand-Carved Eurasian Teal Duck Decoy...

Beautiful Vintage Hand-Carved Eurasian Teal Duck Decoy – European Folk Art – Mid/Late 20th Century A charming and highly decorative vintage wooden duck decoy, representing a male Eurasian Teal (Anas crecca), beautifully hand-carved and individually hand-painted with remarkable attention to the bird's natural plumage. The piece is distinguished by its rich chestnut-red head, striking emerald-green eye patches outlined in white, vivid red eyes and delicately patterned cream and brown body. Particularly attractive are the finely executed feather decorations, featuring intricate brushwork, contrasting black and white wing feathers, deep green accents and a beautifully shaped yellow-toned tail. The craftsmanship reflects the traditional European art of wooden duck decoys, combining naturalistic representation with the expressive character of folk art. Period and Origin Probably European craftsmanship dating from the second half of the 20th century, approximately the 1960s–1980s. The precise country of origin and maker remain unidentified.
