The origin of Taxidermy started many centuries ago. Its name derives from the Greek words "Taxis" meaning order, arrangement and preparation, and "Derma" meaning skin. In short Taxidermy means "skin art".
It is the practice of preserving animal skins and creating lifelike representations of animals. The history of taxidermy dates back to ancient Egypt, where it was used to prepare animal skins for religious ceremonies.
Over the years, taxidermists have refined their techniques and developed new methods to create realistic and detailed pieces. Taxidermy has been used in museums, hunting lodges, and homes across the world as a way to preserve memories of animals that were hunted or kept as pets. Today, there are many different types of taxidermy ranging from traditional forms such as stuffing and mounting animals to modern techniques such as creating life-like sculptures from clay or resin.
Fish mounts created from resin are becoming increasingly popular in taxidermy. Resin is an excellent material to use when creating fish mounts because it is lightweight, durable, and easy to shape into realistic-looking fish replicas.
