Corps Principal Haut Bis

An otherworldly face mounted like a trophy. This piece pairs a sculpted head with a heraldic shield to make a wall-hung plaque. The face is smooth, bald and faintly alien — high, angular cheekbones, small pointed brow ridges rising like nascent horns, narrowed almond eyes and a calm, closed-mouth expression. It sits proud of a classic pointed shield (escutcheon) with a raised inner border, so the head reads as a relief bust framed against the crest behind it. The effect lands somewhere between medieval coat-of-arms and sci-fi curio — a display object for a gamer's shelf, a cosplay prop wall, a fantasy or horror-themed room, or anyone who likes a bit of the uncanny in their decor. The broad shield gives a stable flat back for hanging, and the simple, poly-faceted surfaces make it forgiving to finish. Print notes: • Print the shield flat on its back so the face builds upward; supports are only needed under the chin and brow overhangs. • Alternatively split face and shield if you want a two-colour build — bronze crest, pale face. • Add a keyhole or a couple of pilot recesses to the flat back for wall mounting before slicing. • A metallic primer with a dark wash into the recesses gives an instant cast-bronze or aged-pewter look; a smooth clay finish suits the alien read. Equal parts heraldry and strangeness, it makes an eye-catching, conversation-starting wall accent.
