Description:
This unique piece features a collection of five taxidermied pufferfish (also known as fugu) carefully arranged under a glass dome.The pufferfish,known for their inflatable bodies and potent toxin,have been preserved in their natural state,showcasing their distinctive spherical shape and spiny exterior.Each fish is mounted on a thin wire or rod,allowing them to be positioned within the glass dome in various configurations.
Taxidermy Process:
Taxidermy is the art of preserving animals through stuffing or mounting their skins.In this case,the pufferfish have likely undergone a preservation process that involves removing the internal organs,replacing them with a suitable filling material,and drying the skin to maintain its shape and texture.
Rarity and Value:
Pufferfish are not commonly used for taxidermy due to their delicate nature and the potential risks associated with handling their toxic flesh.As a result,this display would be considered a rare and valuable piece,particularly if the pufferfish species are uncommon or endangered.
