Antlers
Printed on Giclée Hahnemühle Photo Rag
This image was shot in September 2020 in Italy. The antlers of adult males have different spikes and ramifications.
Starting from the bottom, the spike takes the name of eyepiece, needle (not always present) and median those located along the shaft, while those located at the apex of the shaft take the name of fork if they are two, or crown if they are three or more.
