It’s a war between brown and white mice, and technically speaking, none of them have survived. They would however, be in eternal war as pieces of a chess set. The taxidermy chess set is the work of Rachael Garcia, featuring white and brown mice as the opposing sides. The mice were sourced from a captive breeding facility that sells frozen rodents for snake feeding.
Smaller mice became pawns for both sides, while the larger ones were given roles of other pieces like rooks, bishops, knight, king and queen. The pieces are dressed up for their part, the knights carry cocktail swords, the bishops have shiny hats, and the king and queen wear modified charms and necklaces. The pieces stand on a hand painted chess board with custom storage.
Taxidermy mouse chess set was priced at $450 on Rachel Garcia’s Etsy page. While this one of a kind set has been sold, her shop is full of taxidermy goods.
