This American folk art sculpture is a hand-carved and painted wooden whirligig depicting a duck in flight. The piece features a stylized profile body with two independent, rotating wings attached via a central metal bolt and nut assembly, designed to spin when caught in the wind. The surface is decorated with a multi-toned paint scheme of muted greens and creams, accented by black linear details representing feathers. The bird is mounted on a modern, minimalist black-finished metal display stand consisting of a thin vertical rod and a flat rectangular base. Faint, illegible handwritten marks are present on the upper surface of the top wing.
