Preening Pintail Wooden Decoy Carving Lane Brigham Thibodaux Louisiana Bayou :
$350.00
This carved caricature of a preening pintail was created in the tradition of decorative decoys
carved across the last century. From the early 1900s to the present many decoy carvers would
occasionally recreate animated versions for display. This bird was painted in the simple \"block
painting\" style common to decoys used for actual duck hunting purposes. A few flourishes of
artistry are present in this rendering to make for a more attractive display piece. It was carved
from tupelo gum by Lane Brigham who lived and carved alongside a number of well-known
Cajun carvers in Terrebonne parish and on Bayou Lafourche. The bird has been in a private
collection for the past decade.
