This skull is distinguished by its prominent, hollow, and robust casque, characteristic of African forest hornbills. Far from being decorative, it acts as a veritable sounding board, amplifying the vocalizations that resonate throughout the rainforest. The more developed the casque, the further the call carries. A way for the male to signal himself without showing himself.

William Geffroy

William Geffroywas the winner of the naturalist prize awarded by the Deyrolle jury within the framework of the SNBA.

He operated like a scientist collecting marine samples to build a collection. Traveling the oceans, European aquariums, and natural history museums, he immortalized species, giving them a living appearance and a magnifying glass-like dimension. William Geffroy favored the formal singularity of each animal to achieve a wide range of styles and materials, where color sublimates each creation.
