Description of Taxidermy For Sale
For sale, we have a magnificent pair of Hawksbill Sea Turtle reproduction taxidermy mounts, posed swimming downward and towards each other giving a perfect mirror effect for any foyer or fireplace. These gorgeous turtles have been completely hand-painted individually, and you can tell the artist had a keen eye for detail. Much like the wild, they are not perfectly identical and their markings have variability representing two separate individual turtles, not some factory-painted mass-produced prop. The bases can either be hung on the wall or be placed on a shelf. The base is made from our in-house poured light-weight faux rocks that have been painted to match that of undersea rocks. There are also faux coral accents that truly wrap the whole display together! If you are looking for a unique piece to impress your guests, then this is the piece for you! All applicable measurements and dimensions are provided in the specifications section to help ensure this item will fit within your intended space, as well as meet expectations regarding the item's featured attribute sizes, scores, etc.
