Aulus Report post Posted July 13, 2010 Hi Folks, this is one of my latest projects, a Sax Sheath for an Alamanni about the year 600 p.C. The patterns for the carvings are from the Sutton Hoo Ship burial and the one on the mouth of the sheath was createt by me for the warrior. So it´s his figure. The complete sheath The "Mouth-Animal" especially for this Warrior Animals from Sutton Hoo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alb Report post Posted July 14, 2010 I really like the animal you created. I'm wondering what type of applicator you used for the coloring of the animals. I live the look very much. Ann Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aulus Report post Posted July 14, 2010 @Hivemind: The Rings are cut from Elk Antlers and polished. The customer is a taxidermist who works the whole day with this stuff. @alb: The Applicator was a damped sponge and the colour is antique finish (mahagonay).
