This type of taxidermy display presents an animal, typically a game animal, in a lifelike, forward-advancing posture. The animal appears to be emerging from the wall, creating a dynamic and visually striking presentation. This method typically involves mounting the head, neck, and upper shoulders of the animal on a specially designed form that projects outward from the wall.
The appeal of this mounting style lies in its ability to showcase the animal’s power and natural movement within a limited space. It avoids the full footprint of a traditional floor pedestal while offering a more engaging display than a standard shoulder mount. Historically, hunters and wildlife enthusiasts have sought methods that not only preserve the memory of the hunt but also artistically represent the animal in its natural state, thus leading to innovations in taxidermy presentation.
