Anotations

Scope note:

Carved objects, usually of wood, in the form of a duck or other waterfowl, having the original intent of luring flocks of birds onto bodies of water so that hunters could shoot them. Modern duck decoys may be molded. Duck decoys are considered valuable collectibles, generally the creations of folk artists or other craftsmen.
