An exceptional example of contemporary American folk art, this hand-carved Wood Duck Drake decoy is a masterclass in woodworking. Attributed to the carver Steven J. Musla, this piece distinguishes itself with its relief-carved wing feathers—a difficult technique that creates depth and shadow rarely seen in standard decorative decoys.
The bird features a stunning, rich grain pattern (likely Chestnut or Ash) protected by a satin varnish that glows in natural light. A striking red glass eye adds a lifelike gleam to the head, which is crowned with the Wood Duck's signature crest. This is not merely a decoy; it is a sculptural mantel piece perfect for a library, coastal living room, or rustic study
