Black and Olive Painted Old Wooden Decoy Head painting with snake The piece is taped aroundAnother fragment, this one the head from quite an old working decoy, which I find quite beautiful for its elegant carved form, the contrast between black and olive paint, and tack eyes, which have lost most of its black paint. The bottom edge of the neck is a bit uneven so it does not stand up on its own. 5 3 4" l x 3 5 8" t x 1 1 16" d.
