Vintage Folk Art Wood Duck Signed H. Sloan, Maine deep relief carving and also his good intentions:I found this handsome wood duck in Southern Maine, perhaps not very far from where it was carved, though I haven't been able to find out much of anything about the H. Sloan who made it, other than that he, or she, was from Maine. However, I think perhaps they might be fairly recently deceased, as I recently found a collection of smaller carved birds by the same H. Sloan, only a few miles away from where I found this, which I sold here a month or two
