SENZA RISERVA abyssal fish Taxidermy full body mount...

Lactoria Cornuta Lactoria cornuta, commonly known as the horned boxfish, is a marine fish belonging to the Ostraciidae family. The body has a quadrilateral cross-section, narrower toward the tail. From the forehead and the lower belly four bony projections rise. The body of this fish, like that of other species in the family, is surrounded by a perforated bony exoskeleton in the areas of the mouth, the anus and the fins. The tail is long and delta-shaped, but it is hardly ever fully widened. The coloration shows yellow-green with blue and brown speckles. The beak is brown, as are the eyes. The liver of these fish is poisonous, as it secretes a substance called tetrodotoxin, a neurotoxin that inhibits respiratory function, leading rapidly to death. Lactoria Diaphana Large tetraodontiform belonging to the Ostraciidae family. It has a body with a distinctive trunk-pyramidal shape, typical of the genus; the whole body is completely covered by a bony armor, formed by fused hexagonal scales, from which the mouth, eyes, caudal peduncle and fins protrude; the mouth is small and placed on top of a rigid, conical and elongated snout; the teeth are fused together into four plates. A very special lot: two distinct specimens of Lactoria provided without a stand. A necessary clarification. The final image of our photographic gallery is obtained with the help of AI software. The purpose is purely aesthetic but also exemplary: it shows the real object inside an artificially generated scenography. The aim is to show how precious the items up for auction are and how well they look in different environments, all highly refined. Thank you for your attention. Happy bidding.
