A hollow pair of raised-wing gadwall with “D. J. Sullivan” and the date stamped on the undersides. These carvings appear to have been influenced by Clark Madera, with the maker going even further with highly detailed paint. Original paint with light wear, a neck crack in hen, and tight age line in drake's tail.
