    Full mask sporran: which animal?

    Can anyone tell me which animal this could be? I'm not really versed in flattened animals… ;-)

    Polecat. See Kate Macpherson's website for comparison.

    Best guess would be road kill, until now I'd seen nothing living or dead that resembles that.....

    Of course I must confess I do not like full mask sporrans. Generally it is my belief that it is it is unwise, to say the least, to place anything with teeth and claws in that area! Living or, in this case, thankfully dead.

    Well, if it were a Kate MacPherson, you could be right on that count (tho I doubt it's one of hers). I think the use of metal cantle contributes to the odd look.
