D0549. Ken Anger Black Duck Decoy

Early hollow-carved, glass-eyed black duck decoy with incised wing carving by Ken Anger of Dunnville, Ontario, circa 1930s.

This black duck exemplifies that characteristic with rasp work over the entire decoy. Another Anger characteristic found in his decoys up until 1937 and present on this decoy, was the incised “Y” high on the back, behind the head. The bird is in original paint with moderate wear and has more deeply carved side pockets than normally seen on Ken’s work. It measures 17” in length. SOLD
