A joint exhibition with EARL CUNNIGHAM. These fun and uniquely carved decoys were commonly used by men fishing through holes in the ice. Decoys vary in size, decoration, and materials, though wood mainly was used for the body and tin for the fins. Eyes are beads, glass or tacks. Early examples display a richness in carving, and some are painted with sayings expressing hope.
