This handcrafted tamarack goose decoy features a classic folded-wing design, reflecting a traditional and grounded form. The wings are laid close to the body, creating a smooth, streamlined silhouette that emphasizes balance and proportion.
Carefully shaped by hand using tightly woven tamarack twigs, the piece highlights the natural texture of the material and the precision of the maker. The upright posture and extended neck give it a strong, steady presence.
Tamarack decoys have long been made by Cree and other northern Indigenous peoples. Traditionally used for hunting, they were crafted from natural materials to blend into the environment. Today, they continue as cultural artworks that carry forward knowledge, craftsmanship, and connection to the land.
Each piece is handmade, resulting in slight variations that make every sculpture one of a kind.
