Hand carved and painted

This beautiful White-faced Whistling Duck (Dendrocygna viduata) is on a bird club trophy last competed for in 2005.
It would appear that the competition was never held again, and the trophy was forgotten about.
It has now come to light, and I collected it this morning on behalf of the club.
Sincerely hope that the club committee will re-instate the challenge, and make use of this magnificent trophy
