	Incredible sculpture of a life size standing green-winged teal hen by Lem and Steve Ward of Crisfield, Maryland. Acquired by the consigners grandfather, Dan Pasquella, from Lem Ward in exchange for a gallon of home brewed beer. According to family history this took place just before Prohibition was repealed in 1933. Mr. Pasquella was a friend of the Ward's as well as a hunting companion. The Wards leased their barbershop/workshop on Asbury Avenue from Mr. Pasquella, who resided across the street. One of the legs had a break which was restored and the bird was mounted on driftwood for stability. The multiple feather groups have been carved from shingles, artistically inserted, and carefully painted. These superb sculptures are in the cataloger's humble opinion, Lem and Steve at their very best. The bird measures 11 1/2" from bill to tail, and 13 1/2" in girth. $14,950.00
