Approximately 12 inches tall and 12 inches wide. This Superb Decoy was wonderfully carved and painted by Louis "Lou" Reineri. He was born in Pittsburg, Kansas and later relocated to Chincoteague, Virginia where he spent most of his adult life. Chincoteague Island, Virginia is located just off the southeastern coast of the Delmarva Peninsula, which is also bordered on the west by Chesapeake Bay and the east by the Atlantic Ocean. Chincoteague Island is one of several barrier Islands and the Eastern Shore school of carvers includes one of the densest groups of carvers within the population base that they are included. Given the proximity of these carvers to each other and the overlap of their hunting grounds, most knew each other and thus the profound influence that reciprocated between them of styles and construction techniques.
