The place and date of the hunt are handwritten on the skull. One tip of the trophy is broken off, which is due to an injury to the stag.

Trophies are mementos from the hunted game, which are kept by the huntsmen as a souvenir or decorative item. For many centuries it was a tradition to collect trophies. Nowadays exactly these are becoming more and more popular as decorative highlights in hunting lodges.
