A striking departure from rustic folk art, this hand-carved Curlew (or Godwit) decoy presents a sleek, modernist profile. The artist has chosen a highly polished, smooth varnish that highlights the tight grain of the wood, punctuated only by stylized black stippling on the neck and head.
The form is elegant and fluid, focusing on the bird's curvature rather than feather detail. The long, separate wooden bill adds a delicate architectural element. Unsigned, but clearly the work of a skilled hand with an eye for contemporary design. This piece pairs beautifully with Mid-Century Modern decor or a clean, minimalist coastal aesthetic.
Condition: Very Good. Glossy finish is intact with minimal scuffing.
