The Roes Keepsake collage mount

This one-of-a-kind wall piece features an ethically sourced roe deer skull mounted on a warm wooden plaque, layered with an intuitive collage of thrifted jewelry, one-off earrings, vintage lace, dried florals, and found adornments. Each element was selected for its history, texture, and quiet presence—nothing duplicated, nothing mass-made.

The antlers rise with calm authority, anchoring the composition, while soft textiles and worn metals soften the bone beneath. The result is a balance of strength and tenderness, honoring both the animal and the human hands that once held these objects before they were gathered here.

Roe deer are often associated with gentleness, awareness, and movement through the forest with quiet intention. This piece reflects that energy—watchful, composed, and rooted in reverence rather than spectacle.

Designed as a statement wall altar or devotional folk artwork for those drawn to natural history, ancestral symbolism, and found-object assemblage.

One of one.

Ethically sourced remains.

Thrifted and reclaimed materials.

Hand-assembled with intention.
