Lot Highlights
Description: This exquisite Wolpertinger is a masterful representation of one of Bavaria’s most captivating mythical creatures. The Wolpertinger, a legendary hybrid born from Bavarian folklore, is said to possess the body of a hare, wings of a bird, and the majestic horns of a deer. This creation artfully brings the legend to life with its natural stuffed hare base, combined with skillfully crafted imitation partridge wings and deer horns. Rooted in the traditions of European mythology, this Wolpertinger not only symbolizes Bavarian cultural heritage but also showcases exceptional craftsmanship.
Rarity and Value: The rarity of this Wolpertinger lies in its authentic foundation—a natural hare ethically sourced from the Bavarian forests, where this mythical creature is believed to roam. Combining a real hare with expertly created wings and horns makes this piece highly sought after among collectors of mythical art. The hare itself is a symbol of fertility and cunning, while the partridge wings represent abundance, and the deer horns are an emblem of strength. Together, these elements make this Wolpertinger a unique embodiment of folklore and artistic creation.
Discovery: This piece has its roots in the heart of Bavaria, where tales of the Wolpertinger have been shared for generations. The hare used as the foundation was ethically sourced from the region’s forests, where the creature’s legend first originated. Meticulous attention was given to ensure that the natural integrity of the hare was preserved during preparation. The taxidermist’s choice to pair this authentic base with finely crafted partridge wings and horns was inspired by Bavarian legends, paying homage to the creature’s mythological past.
Human Touch: The creation of this Wolpertinger required skilled craftsmanship and a keen eye for detail. The taxidermist carefully integrated the hare’s natural form with imitation partridge wings and deer horns, achieving a seamless and captivating appearance. This process involved selecting high-quality materials for the wings and horns, replicating the distinctive features that characterize the Wolpertinger legend. The artistic dedication invested in this piece is evident in the harmonious blend of realism and fantasy, resulting in a collectible that embodies both the myth and the mastery of Bavarian artisans.
This Wolpertinger is not just a tribute to Bavarian folklore; it is a testament to the timeless allure of mythical creatures and the artistry that keeps their legends alive. Its rarity, cultural significance, and the story of its creation make it a truly enchanting addition to any collection of folklore-inspired art.
