This duck does not exactly look like the exemplary you would like to have floating in your bathtub. Indeed, it is not intended to be played with but used as a decoy when hunting. Due to their social nature, ducks seek out company, which is why hunters use fake models like this one to attract prey. This decoy was probably self-made by a hunter, carving a piece of wood and foam. Indeed, crafting bird hunting decoys has turned into a folk-art form, with the most expensive piece selling for over a million dollars.
