An exceptional miniature decorative goose made in the pose of the carver's iconic life-size masterwork. The whole body is finished with expertly blended paint and the maker's rectangular stamp on the underside. This carving was recently discovered locked in a hidden wall compartment in a lighthouse keeper's home in Chatham, Massachusetts. Excellent original paint with light wear.
