The [faux taxidermy accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculptures) are a fresh and fun take on the classic decor accent that is known for being rustic and elegant in its aesthetic.

Each of these cow skulls measures 6.5” in length and 7” in width making them a medium-sized wall accent that is guaranteed to garner attention from guests.
