It's not easy to find a good quality depiction of a mallard hen -- most statuettes are of the drake -- perhaps because the markings on the hen are delicate and subtle. The artist has done a wonderful job here, and I'm very happy with it. It occupies an honored place in our home.
I have a large collection of boxes, and this one has a very prominent place in that collection. It is truly gorgeous. The artist has created a masterpiece!!!
