Here in the southwest, we see lots of cow skulls used as decorative items. I had never seen one that had been intricately carved in a lacy pattern like this one. I saw this one at that last house from the home garden tours a few weeks ago. This one was hanging in the garage/workshop of that artistic house.
I decided that my photo of it might be a good subject for a little artistic photo editing. Here I gave it a metallic look.
But my favorite adaptation was this one with the floral decor. It reminded me of Georgia O'Keeffe.
My version has a few more flowers and more color but I think I'll still call it my little tribute to Georgia O'Keeffe. She is still an inspiration to the art world.

The horns make a good statement
There is so much work in that original one, Sharon.
One winter when I was a kid, my father played around with electroplating. The skull would plate wonderfully.
Wow, the original is gorgeous, as are all your creative adaptations.
The original is my favourite, it is beautifully done.
That IS very O'Keeffe! I like the metallic one, but the original is fabulous.
