The catalog record
Mark S. McNair (b. 1950) Craddockville, VA, c. 1990 A hollow shorebird decoy with a removable dove-tailed head. McNair's precision and attention to detail shines as the head snaps tight upon insertion and makes a distinct clicking sound when connected to the body. The underside of the bird has an oak bushing around the stick hole and the artist's incised "McNair" signature. Original condition.
