As the sixth submission under the Fake Taxidermy category, it's fair to say that there may perhaps be something desirable about these home decor items. These faux trophies are an eclectic amalgamation of old world art and contemporary panache.
They are inspired by nature, yet come into being through elements of modern creation and design, utilizing no animal products whatsoever. They represent dead animal mounts made popular in decades gone by, yet live up to the ethical treatment of animals demanded today.
