Decoys included in this project
In 1981, a group of decoy connoisseurs were invited to Shelburne Museum to evaluate the collection. During their deliberations, questions arose regarding elements of construction and prior restoration on a number of pieces within the collection. It was suggested that radiography could reveal details that could provide information that might resolve those questions. Initially, decoys selected for this project were either those highlighted by that group of connoisseurs or models to be used for comparative purposes. We then expanded the group to include others with features that were of interest to us.
