Taxidermy PORCUPINE standing on the world
PU782-2
This porcupine specimen, delicately balanced on a pink earth, seems to defy the laws of gravity. Like an acrobat who pokes at the world, he imposes his presence on a fragile base, where continents are tinged with sweetness.
An original composition where curiosity and humor meet. It is also historical, since this animal (introduced in southern Europe in the Roman era), was also the symbol of the king of France Louis XII - around 1500- It was found on gold coins, or carved in stone at the chateau de Blois.
The Asian porcupine (Hystrix brachyura) shown here is not protected by CITES, and was living in a zoo.
