An odd duck...
No really. It is.
This is a hand carved wooden duck, in flight, and is reportedly from the Philippines. He's well over a foot long from bill to tail, and is about the same width from wing tip to wing tip. He was called a "mold" at the weird old store where I found him, but I'm not sure what one would "mold" with this. As I understand it, a mold is a cavity into which something is pressed/cast, and this guy has no cavities that I can see. Anyway, the little fishing line visible in the image is so I can hang him up from the ceiling - he balances quite nicely and looks alive.
