A slightly turned-head, solid cedar, carved decoy with Lem's fine painted feather detail. Faintly signed and dated on the bottom "L.T. Ward Bro., Crisfield, MD, Lem Ward, 1970." Under the tail the bird is also faintly stamped "L. T. Ward..., Crisfield,..." Original paint with even wear, flaking around neck to putty and paint, crack in bill appears to be original.
