    Menagerie Week Here Again

    It's funny, but sometimes commissions come in waves. I might get 3-4 brass cantle orders at a time, or several horse hair sporrans back-to-back.

    This time it was "Unusual Hides" time.

    Fish Skins with Commissioner's Own Sigil tooling-

    Detail


    Zebra Hide With Crest


    I found some kidskin embosses to look like elephant, so we used that for the rear



    And a more typical hide-

    Red Fox

    With matching waistplate


    Finally, no fur at all, but a pattern less commonly seen today-

    Awesome work. I've come to expect no less than impressive things. I really like the red fox sporran. Is the cantle a cast piece in white bronze/brass/pewter?
