Folk art Harold Haertel morning dove decoy antique AAFA

Exceptional paint with appealing warm patina. You will be hard pressed to find a nicer dove by this extraordinary talented carver.

He lived his life in and around Dundee Illinois and was fast friends with William Mackey who recognized his talent. Mackey said in his American Bird Decoys book, " His perfection to detail and adherence to species confirmation and plumage patterns are second to none, and his present work is incomparable". Great decoy to add to your collection.
