Todas las subastas / Etnográfica / Fish Taxidermy full body mount - Diodontidae - 17 cm - 38 cm - 21 cm
Vintage taxidermy of a diodon or hedgehog fish, France, 20th century This intriguing specimen of a diodon, also known as hedgehog fish or porcupine fish, has a characteristic bulbous shape with protruding spines and a slightly open mouth. In the wild, the fish puffs up as a defense mechanism to deter predators with its impressive spiny skin. On the underside the authentic opening is beautifully visible, bearing witness to the traditional artisanal dry- and prep-process (such specimens were formerly also used as a unique lamp or curiosity). The spiny skin and well-preserved fins give the piece a very striking and dynamic form. The taxidermy is in generally good condition with a characteristic patina that suits its age. Light signs of aging are visible on the fins and skin, but overall it is a beautifully preserved item. A touch of mystery and maritime history for the devoted collector of curiosities seeking a special "eyecatcher" for the cabinet of rarities! Professionally packed and shipped with tracking Shipping fee includes handling, energy, environmental, island, insurance, administrative and customs costs Shipping within 24 hours after payment is received
