This piece is inspired by blue and white pottery, known by different names from many different countries, including Delft or Delftware, transferware (French), or pinyin (Chinese).
The roe deer, also known as a roebuck, is native to the UK and smaller than our average American whitetail. Roe deer typically have no more than three antler points- this one has three points budding from each antler, indicating that the deer was a fully grown adult.
This skull was salvaged from a group of antique skulls and antlers imported from the UK.
The measurements of the skull are about 10.5"L x 4"W x 5"D. The back has been cut and attached to a wall hanger, but it can also be propped up to sit on a shelf.
It has been sealed with a protective clear coat, but is not suitable for outdoor display.
