Two Species of Magpie Jay’s Fine Taxidermy by DS&vT
About the Item
‘Stills from a Courtship Dance’ is a series of Fine Taxidermy works with smaller exotic (rare) birds. Sinke and van Tongeren created this series of birds as if they suddenly seemed frozen during the lascivious work put into their mating dance.
These works can be described as gracious, voluptuous or theatrical. Especially for this series Sinke & van Tongeren collected a special series of birds with some extraordinary features. Long bright tails, special patterns in the feathers, amazing colors, crests, beards and crowns. Everything is maximally exposed to charm the viewer. The antique velvet bases also emphasize the theatrical aspect. It is their stage to perform their dance for you.
‘Stills from a Courtship Dance’ currently consists
of about 15 works.
The Black-throated Magpie-jay (Calocitta colliei) and the White-throated Mapie-jay (Calocitta formosa) are two larger birds in the serie. They have remarkable long tails and crests.
