Large vintage Canada goose decoy, hand-carved and painted in classic gunning style. The full-bodied form features a gracefully arched neck and slightly downturned bill, with soft feather carving visible beneath the weathered surface. The paint shows age-appropriate wear and flaking — muted grays and browns with a creamy cheek patch — giving it an appealing, authentic working patina. The underside retains evidence of its original rigging, with attachment holes and wear from years of field use.

Size: Oversized goose body (approx. 23–26″ long; typical of Chesapeake market gunners)
