IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 65391 accession number: E.W.29 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Thursday 14 August 2025 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: bird object type: Carved and painted wooden duck(?), coated in white then decorated with a series of alternating red and black dots that run vertically down the length of the animal's back, as well as a pair of horizontal red solid lines that run around the length of the body. The 'bill' is painted red with black dots, and concentric red circles marked by black dots decorate the head. It is not clear whether this was intended as a purposed representation of a specific animal, or whether this was a decorative piece given the coverage of decoration over the entire surface. It is also possible that this was intended as a depiction of two adjacent birds, but again this is not clear. A protruding tenon (broken) is visible in the centre of the back, but its purpose is not apparent. Damage can be seen at the underside of the head, and both sides present gouges in the wood. A yellow paint(?) is also visible on the base. title: animal LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum
