But if you eat turkey at Thanksgiving you shouldn't be.
It's made of bones that are covered with gold leaf.

It's made by Jim Hornung. He doesn't have much of a web presence. Here is an article about an exhibit of his from a few years ago. Here is a video with him discussing his work. And here is a slide show narrated by Mr. Hornung telling us more about his work.
We like it. Do you? Tell the truth!

I'm glad I read the article, because I couldn't figure out what the wing-like thing on top was. Now I see that it is a wing. The turkle has goth appeal, but I can't say unreservedly that I like it. I did enjoy the bone decorations in the Capuchin Monastery in Rome, but I don't know if I'd want them in my home.
It has an primative appeal, but i have an issue with body parts in the home.
I think it is ultra cool!
Slightly scary, but still desirable. Where do you display it?
It's a very intriguing piece. What a nice use for turkey parts.
