Neat find at the Flea Market

[Anthony]

Was to a flea market on Sunday and came accross this neat decoy that immeadiatly went into my collection.

It looks like it is made out of bundled reeds.

I would be very interested if anyone had any info on the origin or history on this decoy style.

hey there , that is a representation of what natives used to get waterfowl ,im afraid its a newer decoy tho and very impressive too.. as an original would only have the head left at most...bull rushs is my geuss as the natives used the same up around here ,down south they have a different reed which was used the same way..

very cool anthony
