Abraham DeHate / Fish Decoy
Carved and painted wooden decoy with attached metal fins and carpet tack eyes.
Circa 1920. Length 13"


DeHate was the creator of hundreds of extraordinary duck and fish decoys and his work bridged the earlier, less decorative pieces of the 19th Century with the elaborately finished
mid-Twentieth century decoys.

As his many fine Ice Spears attest, DeHate was also highly skilled in metal working, and as a carpenter, boatwright, sculptor and wood carver, represents the multi-discipline genius
of the greatest master carvers.
