While I'm not a fan of stuffed animals or mounted heads, I've always been intrigued by the beauty of bones. This first (and third) is a cat skull, discovered on an abandoned property and (thankfully) already clean and white. Look at the size of those eye sockets!
I think this was one of our mastiffs. She was buried in a spot that much later required some backhoe work and this appeared.
When I was much younger and still living at home, I had a cow skull on top of the book case in my room. I had ivy trained through it, coming out of the eye sockets--a kind of life/death commentary.
My poor mother was not a fan.
