Taxidermy Muntjac Shoulder Mount
This was my first ever shoulder mount commission! A lovely Muntjac Buck.
He was a challenge to work with because the cape of the deer was cut just before the shoulder, so it didn’t fit around the form properly, leaving some areas exposed.
It’s my job to find solutions to problems and to make thins work. After a lot of searching for the ‘right’ branch, I made it an attachment to the piece to disguise these bare areas where the skin was too short.
As this is a Breckland buck, I thought it would also be a nice touch to include some bracken leaves.
Despite the difficulties this specimen presented, I am actually pleased with the end result!
