Thomas Caroon (NC, 1906-1977), Goose

Churches Island, North Carolina, circa 1940s, painted canvas over wire construction.

Length 22.5 in.

Thomas Caroon made a stand of decoys in the 1940s which were patterned after Ned Burgess canvas geese. These geese are difficult to distinguish between the two but a dowel rod that runs through the neck of Caroon geese identifies his work.

Original paint with some soiling to surface.
