A Paper Grandadmiral’s Baton

 

This exquisite piece of esoteric art, was made in the Czech Republic by Viktor Pribyl.  Working from images he obtained from this site, Viktor constructed this magnificent piece of art.  In his own words, Viktor describes the process:

 

Procedure of construction this baton. At first I measured very good and rigorously proportions of baton. Next I printed pictures of baton and in picture I contoured appropriate part. Each head (capital) has 18 parts. I had to make in one head 8 all fours parts and to 8 all fours parts of neck of head. Octagon parts, just to be sure, I solidified with the aid pasteboard. Trunk of baton is formed from a pasteboard tube. Parts with raised anchor chain motif I made with thin paper taenias. It has been need to baton stick on so many taenias to form expected elevation. Paper taenias I pasted all over from all sides with the aid prints parts.
