Not only is it dynamic in it's mounting, the Lady Amherst pheasant is a strikingly beautiful specimen.

The genus name is from Ancient Greek khrusolophos roughly translates to "with golden crest". The English name and amherstiae commemorates Sarah Amherst, who was responsible for sending the first specimen of the bird to London in 1828. This beautiful piece comes from a smoke free home
