Stant White (NC, 1852-1933), Redhead

Bells Island, North Carolina, circa 1880s, carved and painted wood.

Length 15 in.

Stant White made his decoys for use in the market hunting era. His unique decoys have a folksy but pleasing appearance. The bodies have a deep slant in the breast and are rounded in the back like a boat.

Original paint with light gunning wear, tight age check on the left side of the body, bill a very good professional replacement.
