Rare 19th C Folk Art Guinea Hen Pea Fowl Decoy Orginal Untouched AAFA WOW

From my personal collection, I acquired this incredible Decoy over 25 years ago when I caught the collecting bug -Early- during my College years. In the family, This great piece was always referred to as The Spotted Chicken.. As time went on, I realized this was and is a great Early Decoy and a great piece of American Folk Art = most likely made to replicate a Guinea Hen - which was very popular during the 19th C - or - it represents a Pea Fowl.

He or She has been very well taken care of over the years in a smoke free home, and packed away for too many years. This Decoy should be out and displayed by a serious collector of early decoys- or someone who is a serious collector of Early American Folk Art. Decoy is made from ONE piece of carved wood = I believe its Pine = All hand painted, and his face can be seen from 3 angles: left/right side, as well as from above. His Spotted Decorated Body is just incredible = its what makes this piece so incredibly unique and amazing. Hes a nice size measuring just over 17 inches in length (see pic), his back end is curved and also carved as a curve underneath by his tail, just like a real bird.

His 2 holes in which to stake him - or now display him are Original to the piece. Hes in wonderful condition for his age and use - but he does have areas on top where the wood is exposed, there is shrinkage to the wood, and some areas of paint loss, wear: all of this is mostly at the top back area near his neck and towards the far back top near his tail are = see pictures. He is ALL Original, has had no repairs = he is Untouched and Guaranteed to be Old and authentic. Dont hesitate to ask questions, and use the zoom feature.

This is the real McCoy, its Early, its most likely ONE-OF-A-KIND. I never saw another, nor anything similar = and dont think I ever will. I believe Decoy collectors and Folk Art Collectors would fight over him. I will also consider Layaway as an option, with a percentage paid up-front, and the balance in 30 Days.

Or via UPS or FED Ex. I will also consider local pick-up. Be sure to check out my other auctions.
