Description: The larger goose / duck decoy is 13 1/2" long by 10 3/4" high. The smaller decoy is 8" long and 6" high. They are handcrafted of Tamarack twigs with twig legs. Two of the legs on the larger decoy are a little wobbly, but still support the decoy well. Otherwise, these charming decoys are in great vintage condition. "Tamarack goose decoys are delicate wood sculptures of various sizes made, not by carving, but by binding the fragrant twigs of the tamarack tree into a likeness of the Canada goose. Moose Factory and the neighboring community of Moosonee have become the principal production centers for these bird sculptures. The communities, located at the mouth of the Moose River, are the gateway to the Arctic. For centuries, the Cree had fished, trapped and hunted, making use of ingenious ruses such as the coarse willow-twig decoys. Hunters made these lures for the spring hunt by forming a ball of twigs into a body core then covering them with an outer layer of longer twigs in the shape of a goose, with a large open "eye" in the head. When seen against the snow, the eye mimicked the white cheek patch of the Canada goose."
