Description I have created this headdress as more than just a skin with some leather string tied to it: It is built to be functional, sturdy, and beautiful.

Crafted from a VERY rare silvery-black coyote I purchased from a fellow artist. His face was already shaped for the most part when I got him (he was a rug before he became a headdress), but I did have to do some work to the muzzle because it warped a bit when I removed it from the padding it had been attached to. Now, it's one of the most stunning headdresses I've offered to date!


This little guy is an impressive shade of dark charcoal black with silver-tipped guard hairs and white highlights around the shoulders and sides. His face is strippled with bits of gray, white, and black, but he retains a hint of brown behind the ears and at the butt of the tail. By far one of the most unusual and unique coyote colorations I've EVER seen!

Measures 55" in overall length. Has two strips of recycled black buckskin leather attached to the sides so you can tie it atop your head as pictured.

I've actually got a jet black coyote yet to work on, so I'll be posting some shots of him after spring break. He's super super pretty!

OMG this reminds me of the movie Princess Mononoke! There was a girl who was raised by wolves and tried to stop humans invading the forest. She wore a clay mask and a white wolf pelt.

I normally HATE anime with a --BURNING-- passion, but after so many people told me that I was just like the girl in the movie, I did. It's not bad. But these headdresses are more of a spiritual thing to me than just a costume.

With a passion? I know this is a really old comment, but I'm just curious. I can understand why someone would dislike any style of art, but to hate anything with a burning passion....

Meh. I've never liked it, and in fact, having to watch it makes me feel almost physically sick, so I avoid it at all costs. Simply not my cup of tea.

I know you told me before you honor the animal but if you did wear a pelt like and clay mask like Princess Mononoke it would be SOOOOO EPIC

I think that another taxidermy artist here on DA did make a Mononoke outfit a while back. I forget who it was, but I'm sure someone here will know.

YOU BIG CHILD!!! Most models look at the camera and look smug, but you jump off rocks. I like that

My boyfriend is the man behind the camera, so I'm more comfortable doing crazy things like this for him. Some of the other shots we took are even more amusing, but I don't think I'll post those.
