A large folk art carved Canada goose decoy of unusual detail and expressive personality, with outstretched wings, a curved neck, and an open beak with carved tongue. To the underside is carved "PEI" in reference to its Prince Edward Island origin, and an "LN" artist's monogram. A very skillfully carved solid wood example, fully painted with feather detail.
A bale was added to the body after construction for hanging display, though there are original slots with long pins on underside of body for standing display.
This decoy is full-sized, measuring 38 inches from tail to beak, 50 inches wide, and 19.5 inches tall. The wings do not detach from body.
The decoy is in very good condition. Extremities of beak and wings show scuffing and body shows paint wear that is expected. Very lovely patina on the whole of the piece. Structure is in very good condition.
