Vintage Hand-Carved and Painted Canada Goose Sculpture, Signed “P.C.”
This finely executed vintage carving depicts a Canada goose rendered with notable naturalism and balance. Hand-carved from wood and carefully painted, the sculpture captures the bird in a poised standing position, its elongated neck and gently modeled body conveying both elegance and quiet alertness. The restrained palette—featuring soft creams, warm browns, and deep black—reflects close observation of the species’ distinctive markings, while subtle incised feather details enhance texture and depth.
The piece is signed with the initials “P.C.” on the underside, indicating the work of an individual carver, likely associated with the North American decorative or decoy-carving tradition of the mid-20th century. Mounted on a circular wooden base for stability and display, the sculpture was likely intended as a decorative object rather than a functional hunting decoy.
A well-crafted example of folk and wildlife art, this carved Canada goose is equally suited for a sporting interior, library, or collection of traditional hand-carved animal forms.
