Tipped back so the muzzle points at the sky, the wolf's head in this design sits at the angle that carries a howl furthest. Raising the nose lifts the sound clear of the ground, where undergrowth and snow would otherwise absorb it. A hunter's badge in black line work The artwork is a single wolf drawn from the shoulders up, built from fine engraved strokes rather than a solid block of shadow. Ribs of fur along the neck, an open jaw and a lifted nose all read clearly from across a room. A broken circular arc frames the head, and below the wolf sit the words Full Moon Wolf Hunter with the line Estd 1982 between two short rules. Everything is printed in one colour, black against the wall behind it. Why the moon took the credit A howl is pitched low and held long, and low frequencies travel for miles across open country. That is what makes it useful as a contact call between pack members who have spread out. Wolves are most vocal from dusk onwards, and a bright moon simply gave people the light to watch by during those same hours, so the two arrived together in folk tales, printed engravings and shop signs across the northern world. There is more on the sound itself in why wolves howl. Material and sizes Cut from non-toxic, ecological PVC and made to be applied to a wall. Offered in three sizes: 30x42 cm, 42x57 cm and 57x79 cm.
