This invention provides for a pyramidal free-standing upright support for a taxidermy mount. The support body is formed by a plurality of trapezoidal-shaped substantially planar body panels and a flat top panel detachably securable together. The top panel is provided with a central opening, which receives an attachment assembly. The attachment assembly, in turn, holds the taxidermy mount above the top panel when in use. The body panels and the top panels can be transported flat and assembled on site.

A connecting device for connecting two lids includes a hoop member having first and second edges and at least one inwardly-extending protrusion located at the first edge and at the second edge. The connecting device also includes an outwardly-extending tab affixed to the exterior surface of the hoop member, where the tab has a through hole. The hoop member is sized so as to fit within and engage with two opposing like-shaped lids to form a closed structure. According to one aspect of the invention, two lids are repurposed candle lids that would otherwise be discarded, and the closed structure forms an ornamental apparatus such as a holiday decoration.

An assembly for mounting deer antlers is provided, the assembly generally comprising an enclosure, the enclosure generally shaped like a long neck bottle or liquor bottle, and comprising a front portion and a rear portion, the enclosure being adapted to couple end portions of main beams of the antlers to an inside surface of the enclosure rear portion such that portions of the antlers extend through lateral holes, to an area outside the enclosure, the enclosure front and rear portions being removably coupled to one another.

A mount includes a base having a first surface and a second surface defining a ledge and a mount object including a mounting portion. The mounting portion is complementary in shape to the second surface and the ledge. The mount may further include a bracket or support frame. The second surface, ledge and bracket/support frame define a cavity and the mounting portion is complementary in shape to the surfaces that define the cavity. The first surface of the base is adapted to resemble a profile view of a human or animal face and the mount object is a bird wing or bear paw. The mount may further include an accessory fixedly secured to the base.

A mounting apparatus and system and method for making the same are provided. The mounting apparatus allows an object to be mounted to a mounting surface via magnetic attractions between different planes of engagement. Through the movement of planes of magnets, an object that is brought in proximity to the mounting apparatus may engage one of the magnetic planes and then be moved further to engage the other magnetic plane, with the combined magnetic force being configured to support the particular object for which the mounting apparatus is designed. The engagement and/or disengagement of the object from the mounting apparatus can thus occur in stages, by degrees, and/or in a tiered manner.
