All auctions / Ethnographic / Puffer Fish Taxidermy full body mount - Diodontidae - 14 cm - 28 cm - 13 cm
Unique vintage taxidermy of a boxfish with teeth, France, 20th century Notably, the boxfish features a rock-solid beak with snow-white teeth for cracking shells and crabs. The underside reveals artisanal stitching, evidence of the traditional drying and preparation process. The fine, spiky skin and preserved fins give the specimen a very striking and dynamic form. This taxidermy is in beautiful antique condition given its age. Here and there, signs of aging on the fins, but overall in excellent condition. Indeed a touch of mystery and maritime history for the passionate collector of curiosities seeking a special "eyecatcher" for the cabinet of wonders! Professionally packaged and shipped via track & trace Shipping rate includes handling, energy, environmental, island, insurance, administrative and customs costs Dispatch within 24 hours after payment has been received
