Story of the Holly King
and the creation of the two trees

Created by Artist
Dovely Maffeo-Ober

 
It took 5 hours, over two days to cover The Great Stag in vintage Russian mink. The Holly King took about 6 hours. The carving of the horns was the most labor intensive aspect of his transformation. The holly leaves on his staff are real.

The gifts under the tree such as the gourd filled with
honey mead are for the Holly King to celebrate his birth.
