Farmyard Duck Ornament

Hand-painted mild-steel duck ornament recalling the rustic decoy ducks carved by rural craftsmen in the 19th century. Originally used as functional tools for wildfowling, these wooden forms developed patinas cherished by collectors and gradually came to be appreciated as vernacular folk art. Their simplified shapes and honest materials embodied expressive craftsmanship rooted in working landscapes. This sculpture preserves that character through weathered paintwork and charming silhouette.
