Faux Taxidermy: Unicorn

Description

I found a vintage paper mache shoulder form at the estate of a local taxidermist who recently passed away. It was originally meant to be for mounting an African impala, but when I saw it, I somehow instantly thought 'unicorn'.

He's been dusted off and sanded down, then painted matte black, with 24K gold ear tips, a gold horn, and a gold gotee. There are also gold highlights on the recycled wooden plaque he's mounted to. Horn and goatee were hand-molded from epoxy, and the detail around the eyes, cheeks, and chin were also modified to make it look more horse-like.

This 'Impalacorn' is made from about 90% recycled material. He's all boxed up and ready to be shipped.

Plaque measures 13.5" X 8" at the widest points.
