The hide used for this headdress came from a fellow taxidermist whose customer didn’t skin it properly to be mounted. The hide was deemed unsuitable for taxidermy and was going to be thrown away. 

This deer was just a spike buck when it was taken, so there were two small holes where the antlers were growing in. These have been patched up, giving the deer the appearance of a doe. I had planned to add antlers, but figured they’d be too cumbersome for this particular pelt. I will likely make another later on that will have antlers attached.

This headdresses is made using the whole hide minus the legskins. It has a lovely little tail on it and a beautiful rustic look. The hair is smooth and glossy, and the face has stunning markings, including a beautiful dark stripe down the muzzle.
