Flying Mallard Drake Decoy Folk Art Chincoteague, VA

A super piece of folk art by what looks to have been made by a Chincoteague maker. I've had a number of opinions on the origin of this piece. Sterling family from Crisfield came up as did a Hudson family member.

The feather painting on the wings makes me think of Norman, but I'm not sure. The body is two pieces and the wings are made from galvanized metal and are painted on the top only. The brass screws used to attach the wings have a nice tarnished patina, so I'm guess this to have been made in the first 1/3 of the last century. It comes with a museum quality stand. The bird itself measures 15 inches bill to tail and 17.5 inches wingtip to wingtip. The item "Flying Mallard Drake Decoy Folk Art Chincoteague, VA" is in sale since Wednesday, December 16, 2015.
