Join exhibition production specialist Steve Deane to discover an amazingly intricate silver cup in the shape of a fox head. This talk explores how the cup was made, how its use was tied to hunting, and how our exhibition team made the cup “float” for display in an exhibition. It also looks at a series of prints of Reynard the Fox and a small fox sculpture from the fifth century. After watching the talk, we invite you to try making your own fox sculpture from Play-Doh and to continue explore foxes at the Harvard Art Museums through this online collection: https://hvrd.art/creaturefeature-fox.
