This is a Big Sky Carvers Mallard Drake Decorative Decoy carved in a preening pose. It was made in the year 2000, is signed by the artist, Chris Linn, and is numbered 1126. Photos give a good description. It is in good shape with a few tiny nicks. On the front on the forehead there are some tiny light colored lines, possibly wood sap, that appear to be there from when it was finished. It is life size, measuring 13.5 inches from chest to tail. It is 7.25 inches tall, 6.5 inches wide, and weighs just over 2 pounds. We have loved Big Sky Carvers Decoys over the years and this is a nice one. It has the typical hand painted finish using paints and transparent stains. The turned, preening head adds to its beauty. By 2000 Big Sky Carvers were located in Manhattan, Montana, and the Company had undergone ownership changes. This decoy is more typical of their earlier decoys though It would make a great gift decoy for a young hunter or anyone who has enjoyed seeing this beautiful, and common, bird in the wild.
