"R. Summers "1986" - Hand-Carved Wooden Duck Decoy • I believe R. Summers is a hobbyist studio carver possibly from BC. • In the mid-1980's carvers shifted from creating "working" decoys to creating finely detailed, unpainted wood-grain pieces meant for display or gallery sales. • Based on the head profile, the sloping forehead, and the flat, broad shape of the bill, this carving represents a female Puddle Duck- most likely a Hen Mallard, Hen Gadwall, or Hen Pintail. • The use of inset black glass optical eyes, rather than painted or carved eyes indicates a premium decorative piece. • The incredibly fine, uniform carved lines on the head and neck and body are the result of meticulous burning or texturing. • The overlapping wingtip feathers are added wood relief-carved to create a 3- dimensional effect where the wings rest over the lower back. • In very good condition for age, no breaks, cracks, but the tip of one wing feather is chipped.
