About this work

A hunter kneels in a reed boat, aiming a long stick. Ducks scatter above still water. The hunter’s bright red coat stands out against the muted greens and blues. This unusual scene shows hunting in a way we don’t see much today. The long stick was a tool called a "bâton," used to hunt birds without guns. Look up this artist’s work at the Museum of Ethnography.
