Early 20th century carved and painted Mallard duck decoy - time to go quackers.

Decoy ducks, originating from indigenous practices and evolving through the 19th century, were crafted to attract real ducks during hunting. Early decoys, made from wood or carved from reeds, were often intricately painted. Over time, they became collectible art pieces, reflecting both their practical use and aesthetic craftsmanship.
