- Description
- A pair of mounted deer antlers with part of the hair-covered head on a wood plaque. On viewer’s left the antler has two large points, one small point, and one projection (to be counted as a point the projection has to be over 1 inch). Viewer’s left: the first curved point closest to the viewer is 34.0cm in length; it is dividing at the end with a 2.0cm length projection. The curved point behind is 30.5cm; at the base of the antler it has a 9.0cm point with a 1.0cm projection. On the viewer’s right the curved antler has three points. At the base of the antler the smallest point is 12.0cm; the inward curving point closest to the viewer’s right measures 39.0cm in length and the one behind is 33.25cm in length. The depth of each antler is 10.0cm. The point span at its largest is 29.50cm, the next 28.0cm. The head part has brown/red hair, with much lighter hair on each side. The top of the head part between the antlers is 7.50cm; the base is 12.7cm. Measurements for the head part is 9.0cm x12.0cm wide, and depth 5.0cm. There are two screws through the head part to attach the antlers to the plaque. The screw on the viewer’s left, is 4.0cm from the head part base and the screw on the viewer’s right is 5.0cm from the head part base. The plaque is a shield-shaped piece of dark brown varnished wood measuring 28.0cmx26.0cm wide, and 1.0cm depth. There is a screw 3.0cm from the top to attach it to the wall. Underneath this the word “GEM” is carved into the wood. At the bottom of the plaque underneath the antlers and head part the number “86” is carved.Note: These antlers are screwed to the wall of the ‘Trading Post’ in the Luxton exhibition “Stuff of Legend” so it was hard to measure.
