~SOLD~Vintage Duck Decoy Hand Carved and Painted Artist Signed

Vintage hand carved and hand painted wood decoy with glass eyes. I don't know exactly what kind of duck this is, it reminds me of a Loon (the spots), but could also be a more colorful female Wood Duck (crested head). Maybe it's a fanciful artist creation! Signed: James T. Mellonig Jan 21, 1985 Inauguration Day. President Reagan. This lovely piece of art measures approximately 5.5 inches tall, 5 inches at widest point, and 11.5 inches from tip of tail to tip of bill. Very good vintage condition. t a g s: rustic, cabin, hunter, hunting, audubon, bird, bird watching, waterfowl, figure, bird carving, collectibles, sculpture, wood carved duck, wood carving, collector, gray, white, blue, black
