Large Spanish Wooden Duck Decoy – c. 1930 – Original Paint – Authentic Hunting Decoy Description Offered is an impressive and authentic Spanish hand-carved wooden duck decoy, dating from approximately the 1930s. This large, functional hunting decoy was carved from a single piece of lightweight wood and retains its original hand-painted surface, displaying a beautiful, untouched patina acquired through decades of genuine use. The worn paint, hand-carved construction, and original iron line attachment on the underside all attest to its authenticity as a working decoy rather than a decorative reproduction. Its generous size and elegant, elongated form make it an exceptional example of traditional Spanish folk craftsmanship and waterfowl hunting heritage. The underside retains its original red-painted finish and iron staple for attaching the anchor line. The decoy has a naturally rounded hull, allowing it to float and move realistically on the water.
