Half Scalded Antique Carved and Painted Duck antique label I have lots of love

I have lots of love for the person who created this whimsical construction--no small effort

A terrific white vein in the stone running around the base too

especially for their combination of grace in the water and awkwardness on land

Some rippling to the paper from the pasting

Half Scalded Antique Carved and Painted Duck antique label I have lots of loveI found this small carved duck in Pennsylvania, and it appears to be quite an old one, in original white paint. Somewhere along with way endured a fire, resulting in a dramatically charred flip side. A bit tragic perhaps, for what a beautifully carved little duck, which appears to have been signed on the underside (now very faint), but I love the sort of dual natured drama of it as a result. 3 7 8" l x 1 5 8" w x 1 7 8" t. Very blackened on one side
