Description

Height: 57cm

A taxidermy Hooded Crow (Corvus cornix), presented on a turned wooden display stand and altered with a striking three-eyed gothic feature.

The crow, a species recognised for its distinctive grey body and black head, wings, and tail, has long held symbolic associations with intelligence, omens, and folklore across Europe.

This example has been artistically modified, introducing a third eye to the forehead, enhancing its macabre and occult aesthetic.

The piece blends traditional taxidermy with contemporary gothic reinterpretation, making it particularly suited to collectors of unusual curiosities and darker decorative arts.

The mounted stance allows the natural form of the bird to be clearly appreciated, while the alteration creates a visually arresting focal point, balancing natural history with artistic expression.
