You'd be quackers not to fall for this early 18th century decoy.

Originally used to lure unsuspecting ducks to their doom but thankfully this one now has a more peaceful and less homicidal life as a beautiful object.

Decoy ducks have been used since ancient times to attract real ducks for hunting. Originating from Native American practices, they evolved from simple wooden carvings to intricately crafted objects in various materials, including ceramic and plastic. Their design and artistry have become appreciated beyond hunting.

Shipping P.O.A. Subject to quotation and will be charged separately.
