Beautiful warm dry wood patina to the horse

but not rusted through

Still bright and clear to read and I think just terrific

Vintage Folk Art Wood Duck Signed H. Sloan, Maine his and her nude bookends The textile itself measures 15I found this handsome wood duck in Southern Maine, perhaps not very far from where it was carved, though I haven't been able to find out much of anything about the H.

Sloan, only a few miles away from where I found this, which I sold here a month or two
