Custom 6x8 Taxidermy Bat Shadowbox with Bamboo Bat - Gothic Home Decor- Halloween Decoration
This listing is for ONE 6x8 taxidermy bat shadowbox with the fabric of your choosing. After many years I have finally managed to compile *most* of my fabrics into one listing with the best representation of color and pattern that I can accurately convey. If you have any questions about the fabrics or would like to see more photos, please feel free to reach out to me as I have many photos in my archives. Each shadowbox is carefully crafted by hand when you place your order. Because they contain real specimens, no two will ever be exactly the same. Please keep in mind that my fabric swatches are cut from the bolt at random, so the placement of the pattern may vary slightly from the swatches shown. Each box comes with antique silver or brass metal corner embellishments (you choose). If you're unsure of which one to choose, I would be happy to make a selection for you based on what I feel pairs best with your fabric. I carry several different styles of corners, so while I will try to match what's in the photos, if I am out of stock you will receive a different but similar style.
My shadowboxes are guaranteed to make a wonderful addition to your gothic home decor, or perhaps the perfect gift for the curiosities and oddities collector :)
Note: This listing is only for the 6x8 shadowbox. Any other boxes shown are to display fabrics only and can be purchased in separate listings.

★★ TAXIDERMY BAT DISCLAIMER ★★
I AM A LICENSED IMPORTER. ALL OF MY BATS ARE 100% LEGAL TO OWN. NONE OF THE SPECIES IN MY DISPLAYS ARE ENDANGERED, NOR THREATENED, NOR ARE THEY ON THE CITES LIST OF ENDANGERED/THREATENED SPECIES.

Where do my bats come from? The majority of my bats are fruit bats that are indigenous to Indonesia. Unfortunately fruit bats can inflict serious damage on fruit crops. They are so numerous and considered huge pests to fruit farmers, so the farmers set up nets around the trees to keep them out. The bats that die in the nets are collected by people who preserve them to sell as taxidermy specimens for income, which I in turn repurpose into a beautiful pieces of art for you. In other parts, collectors go to roosting areas like cave entrances and collect the deceased animals.
All of my bats are ethically sourced and legal to own. All of my bat specimens are inspected by USFWS. No bats are harmed for the purpose of my artwork.
