Pure Silver (99.9 %) Collection
Artist: D.B
Patented Design
There is only one artist in the world who crafts in this style and there is only a few of these ever made.
*Silver Reign* is a monumental longhorn skull, entirely hand-gilded in 99.9% pure silver using a legally protected process so rare, no other artist on earth is licensed to create it. Its mirrored surface doesn’t just shine—it **commands**. Every reflection tells a story of conquest, heritage, and high art born from bone.
This is not western décor. This is sovereign-grade sculpture for those who buy legacy—not trends. Its presence is immediate. Its silence speaks louder than words. The collector who claims *Silver Reign* isn’t just purchasing art—they're staking a throne.
Once sold, it vanishes into private hands—forever. This is one of a kind German engineering that will never be duplicated by just any skull artist. This is where the wild spirit of the West collides with precision metallurgy, giving birth to something almost mythic.
Collectors, you will never find another. This is not just a conversation piece—it’s a legacy in silver. An investment of both silver and authentic longhorn skull. Own one of the few that will ever exist.
This piece is titled and it is singular in every sense. The artist has reserved all legal rights, and infringement of this design will result in swift legal action. That’s not a threat, it’s protection of legacy. This design is registered, documented, and aggressively defended to preserve its integrity and value.
"The Silver Reign " transcends traditional art forms, merging the rustic charm of southwestern-style homes with the contemporary elegance of modern interiors. This unique piece, crafted by an artist with a profound understanding of both art and engineering, reimagines the iconic animal skull as a shimmering centerpiece that captivates and inspires. Drawing inspiration from the legendary works of Georgia O'Keefe and the rich cultural heritage of Santa Fe, NM, "Silver Reign " is a testament to the artist's innovative spirit and technical mastery.
Artwork Details:
Medium:** Genuine animal skull with proprietary silver metalizing process
Year:** 2025
Edition:** Unique - One of a Kind
The Artist's Vision:
Inspired by the tradition of decorating fireplaces with animal skulls in southwestern homes, the artist sought to elevate this practice into a new realm of artistic expression. Utilizing a revolutionary silver metalizing process, perfected over 30 years and now patent pending, the artist transforms the skull into a mirror-like masterpiece. This process, originally developed for glass silver mirror making and high-end Christmas ornaments, was meticulously adapted to work on animal bones, a feat that took years to achieve.
Aesthetic and Technique:
"Silver Reign" is a genuine animal skull, professionally cleaned and prepared in accordance with the highest taxidermy standards. The skull is hand-sanded to remove cracks and smoothed in the forehead area, achieving a perfect mirror reflection. The eyes and jaw remain untreated to maintain a natural appearance, striking a balance between rustic charm and contemporary elegance. The coating material is pure 99.99% silver, electrochemically applied to a glossy, hand-polished primer coating using an environmentally friendly, water-based process. The silver is then finely polished by hand to a perfect mirror shine, protected with an anti-tarnishing material and a durable clear top coating to ensure permanent luster.
Exclusivity and Investment:
As a unique piece, "" stands alone in the art world. It's exclusivity is matched only by its potential to appreciate in value, making it a coveted addition to any elite collection. The absence of a price tag underscores its status as a work of art that transcends monetary valuation, appealing to collectors who seek the pinnacle of artistic expression.
Historical and Cultural Context:
The artwork draws inspiration from the rich tapestry of southwestern culture, particularly the tradition of using animal skulls as decorative elements. The artist's time in Santa Fe, NM, and his deep appreciation for the works of Georgia O'Keefe, who popularized the use of buffalo skulls in art, infuse "Silver Reign" with a narrative depth that resonates with collectors who appreciate the intersection of art and history.
Acquisition:
This piece is available for immediate acquisition and can be viewed by appointment at our private gallery or through a virtual tour.
This listing integrates the artist's diverse expertise in contemporary art, taxidermy, and engineering, creating a compelling narrative that appeals to high-caliber collectors seeking unique and valuable pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the Horns Come Off and If So, How To I Re-Attach the Horns?
Yes, unless stated otherwise, all horns are shipped detached to reduce shipping costs.
To help identify which side of the head the horns belong to, we use identifying marks such as a colored sticker, or a small marking on the head or in packaging.
Re-attachment is then a matter of slipping the horn cap back onto the horn core, carefully and without force to avoid cracking or shipping. The base of the horns can be fragile, so just go slow.
Also, each horn has natural groves and can really only go back on one way, so it's hard to mess it up. Please refer to the pictures in the original listing for placement and shape.
-
Are These Longhorn Skulls Authentic?
Yes, all our longhorn skulls are 100% authentic Texas Longhorn cow skulls. We source them responsibly from ranches and ensure they meet our quality standards. No polled skulls. No replicas. Each listing has an image on how you can spot a fake.
-
How Much is Shipping and Will You Ship International?
We offer FREE domestic shipping & fragile packing services to customers in the United States.
We offer calculated international shipping, but prices depend on destination, and other factors.
We work with a 3rd party shipping provider for steep discounts, so please know that actual shipping prices should be much less than what Etsy estimates. If there is a difference in price, you will be refunded.
What is Your Ethical Sourcing Policy?
We are committed to ethical practices. Our cow skulls are sourced from ranches where the animals have naturally passed away, or are a by-product of the beef industry, or come from sustainable sources, ensuring minimal impact on the environment.
Why Do the Skulls Have Different Prices & Why Are You More Expensive Than Other Shops on Etsy?
The prices of our longhorn skulls vary based on factors such as size, condition, and unique markings. We aim to offer a range of options to suit different preferences and budgets.
We pride ourselves in our ability to source some truly rare and remarkable skulls. We've sold skulls that are over 100" inches wide, and some are even from famous longhorn breeders, with genetic traits that make their horns truly unique, beautiful and durable, unlike our competitor shops.
The process from pasture to home decor is an arduous one with expensive supply & sourcing costs, months of production effort to ethically source, clean, and prepare these skulls into beautiful home decor items fit to be hung on your wall.
Can I Customize My Longhorn Skull Before I Order?
While we don't offer extensive customization, we can accommodate some requests. Contact us before placing your order, and we'll do our best to meet your customization needs, such as laser engraving, painting, carving, or decorating.
NOTE: There will be be an additional cost for custom orders.
Can I Hang My Longhorn Skull on the Wall, and How Do I Do It?
Yes, our longhorn skulls are all ready to be hung on the wall. Each skull comes with a sturdy galvanized wire attached to the back on the head for secure mounting. Simply use appropriate hardware (screws, nails, or wall anchors) for your wall type to hang the skull securely.
-
What Forms of Payment Do You Accept or Offer A Payment Plan?
We accept major credit/debit cards, PayPal, and other payment methods available through Etsy's secure payment system.
Etsy now offers an installment payment system called Klarna, so you can get your skull ordered now and make monthly payments over time.

Do You Offer Returns or Exchanges?
We want you to be satisfied with your purchase. If your cow skull arrives damaged or not as described, please contact us within 14 days of receiving your order. We'll work with you to arrange a return or refund. We do not offer exchanges. Refunds are only offered in the case of item damage. We cannot accommodate orders where the customer has simply changed their mind.
NOTE: All items are shipped with insurance, and refunds due to damage in shipment must be processed by our shipping provider. Proof of damage will be required to submit a claim.
What is Tip to Tip vs Total Horn? I Don't Understand.
Tip to Tip (commonly shown as TTT), is standard measurement in the Longhorn industry and is simply the total distance across the horn spread (from tip to tip), measured in feet or inches.
So if a listing says 8-ft TTT (and yes, we do get them this big), that's the total span (width) of the horns and a measurement to consider when sizing a longhorn skull for your space.
Total Horn on the other hand (TH), is a measurement taken along the back of the horn curvature following the total curvature of the horn. The total horn is always the larger of the two measurements.
Some skulls may have a short TTT, but a very long TH if they are swooping forward for example.
This is just another unique trait of the magnificent Texas Longhorn!
