Vintage Hand Carved and Painted Wooden Wigeon Duck Sculpture

A highly detailed vintage hand-carved and hand-painted wooden duck sculpture, modelled as a male Eurasian Wigeon (Mareca penelope) in a resting pose. The piece is naturalistically painted to faithfully replicate the drake's distinctive plumage: a rich chestnut-red head, grey bill, dark brown scalloped breast, grey and white flanks with fine feather detailing, a white belly, and a vivid teal-green speculum (wing patch) visible from the rear.

The carving is executed with excellent attention to detail — individual feather lines are incised across the wings, breast, and body, giving the sculpture a lifelike texture. The piece sits on a flat base and is display-ready.

Details:

• Material: Wood (hand-carved)
• Species: Eurasian Wigeon (male / drake)
• Colours: Chestnut-red, brown, grey, white, teal-green
• Pose: Resting / floating

A decorative and naturalistic piece, well suited to a country house, sporting, or traditional interior. An ideal gift for wildfowl enthusiasts, birdwatchers, or collectors of decorative folk art and wood carvings.
