Urnes Serpent Fallow Buck Deer Skull

Design

This one of a kind fallow buck deer skull has been designed and created exclusively for Northern Fire by Nadine from Nordurljós Art. 

The design is crafted in the Urnes style which is known for its graceful, winding serpent motifs and elongated animal figures. The artwork is first drawn freehand on to the skull, then burned completely by hand using pyrography.

This skull also features an unusual and unique underdeveloped antler, which is quite a rare occurrence. This is a complete skull including the lower jaw.

Material & Make

The use of fire to manipulate natural materials is one of the most ancient forms of artistry. Pyrography has been discovered on artefacts globally such as bone, wood, leather, and even stone.

Each piece is uniquely one of a kind, having been hand worked by the artisan to compliment the dimension of the design and respect the natural grain of the wood.

All of these are A1 grade skulls (intact and undamaged, all teeth present, all oil and dirt completely removed). They are cleaned and treated with peroxide to museum quality, so they can be shipped internationally too. All are sourced ethically and legally within the UK.
