Description
Feature a minimalist polychrome finish. The red head and simplified body markings on this piece are characteristic of folk-art lures where a strong silhouette was more important than fine detail.
The rectangular wooden block attached to the bottom is the keel.
The large, hand-inked letters "NM" are likely the initials of the original owner or hunter. Since dozens of decoys were often used together in a single "spread," hunters marked their property to ensure they could retrieve their own gear at the end of the day.
Paint losses and historic unusable of woodworm.
