wooden duck

Mallard lawn ornament

A wooden duck is a carved or crafted duck made of wood, typically decorative.

Wooden ducks appear as decoys for hunting, folk art, or home décor—often painted to resemble mallards or other species.

A row of wooden ducks lined the mantelpiece.

The phrase may also describe something stiff or artificial: His acting had all the charm of a wooden duck.
