Dire Wolf Skull by =DonSimpson has a tribal/ritualistic feel behind it, the carvings lending itself to use by a shaman. The casting work too has been really well done and looks very convincing as a real skull.

Description
This is a resin cast of a dire wolf skull. Goldenwolf commissioned me to carve and decorate it.
The original casting was very high quality, but I did some additional texturing and some staining and other "skullness" detailing as well as doing the carving and so on. The braided leather cords with bone disks are not just decorative, but serve various practical purposes: hanging the skull up, fastening the jaw flexibly so it can open, and tying the jaw shut for travel. I gave it a bold graphic with contrasting textured background, to show at a distance, but the texture is made with little spirals and circles and angle-changing lines, that show close-up. The carved inset I made for the forehead is bone.
