Ring-necked Pheasant Taxidermy Mount - This lot features a full body avian taxidermy mount of a male Ring-necked Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus). The specimen is depicted in a standing, upright, alert posture with its head turned slightly to the right. The plumage is characteristic of a male bird, displaying an iridescent dark green and purple head, prominent red facial wattles, small ear tufts, and a distinct white ring around the neck. The body feathers exhibit a rich coppery-red and gold color palette with dark brown and black scalloped patterning. The long, tapered tail feathers show horizontal barring. The mount includes orange-toned glass eyes and naturalistic scaly legs, with a prominent spur visible on each tarsus. The bird is secured to a naturalistic log section with intact bark, which is mounted upon a rectangular finished wood plinth base.
