The creature is rendered in a refined illustrative style against a clean white ground, creating a striking contrast that emphasizes both the creature's muscularity and the precious quality of its gilded embellishments. At home in a modern gallery space or a sophisticated study lined with natural curiosities. Made to order by hand at our own Denver facility, it arrives as nine wood panels, each a half-inch thick with a keyhole on the back so it hangs easily. The natural grain shows through the artwork, so no two come out exactly alike.
