A fantastic, large hand-carved swan decoy with a beautiful, natural glowing patina that comes with age. This piece has a wonderful classic shape and finely carved texture. The work is signed by the artist (Esmer) and dated (1929) on the base/underside. Swan decoys are fairly uncommon. This piece has a great feel and heft to it.
