[QUOTE="yourturntoloveit, post: 34369, member: 57"]Is it attached to the two boards under it in the photo? Have you seen the bottom of the hooves and do they look like they were previously attached to anything other than the boards it is on now? Does it look like it has always been attached to those boards (the boards look "newer" to me than the animal)? Is it covered in skin/hide? Is that real animal hair for the tail? How heavy (approximately) is it? What are the eyes made of? Do you think it could possibly be an animal which has been preserved through taxidermy? I wonder if it was a state's (or even national) Democratic Convention's "mascot" which may have even been "on-stage" during conventions or smaller political gatherings or perhaps even pulled along (on wheels) in parades. It is a very interesting item.[/QUOTE]
