Irvin made some iconic decoys referred to as "clothespin snipe." They are wonderful folk art due to the knob head and simple form, this particular decoy is in a feeding pose. The larger examples made from driftwood are attributed to Irvin Morris, Sr.

Paint worn to bare wood, bill professionally replaced with filler in areas of wood loss.
