Hunting trophy - deer antler

A hunting trophy from the first half of the 20th century, consisting of a complete deer skull with antlers, mounted on a hand-carved wooden shield with an embossed motif of oak leaves and crossing branches. The contrast of bleached bone, natural antlers in brownish grey tones and dark stained solid wood is emphasised by the distinctive patina of age. The object is in original, well-preserved condition with no modern interventions.
