Kate does do good work, her mounts actually look like the original beastie, I don't think they are quite my cup of tea however. This one, even without the cantle, looks as though it met with a rather traumatic or catastrophic end. I don't believe it went peacefully!

I agree, that's not something normally found on a full-mask sporran.

David is correct. It's a Polecat, which were primarily used for boys sporrans due to their small size. Kate Macpherson, my full-mask sporran maker, does offer this style from time to time, basically when she acquires an animal from local farmers in Inverness-shire. The fur is entirely too light to be a Scottish Pine Marten. See mine below.

Kate Macpherson makes them with the option of plain brass or silver cantles. I really like the look of full-mask sporrans with addition of the cantle. Reminiscent of some of the sporrans featured in MacLeay's, "The Highlanders of Scotland."

Looks like one set of legs is a bit shorter than the other-if those are legs-haggis maybe?
