Description
Hand carved and signed by venerated artist, waterman and hunting guide from Chincoteague, VA, Carlton "Cork" McGee. Born in 1931 and still carving at 92, he has carved his whole life. "... he is highly collectible because of who he is and where he’s from and his connection to this region... So you’re collecting not just this object, but everything that the object represents." - Kristin Sullivan, executive director of the Ward Museum. The piece is 8 inches tall.
