Highly Decorated Antique Midwestern Pintail Decoy

Red crested head, long graceful bill and exhubuarant paint

Circa 1910-1930: This striking pintail decoy found in Lafayette, Indiana, has fantastic paint, a gracefully carved head, and a very unusual tail construction. Although we do not know who made this decoy, it is obvious that the pintail's carver was very adept at his craft.
