The body has a light reddish-brown to sandy colouration with a fine patina consistent with older taxidermy. The exhibit is intended for display indoors on a pedestal or furniture. Typical decorative element of fishing restaurants, clubhouses or natural history collections. A striking prop for film, TV series, advertising and museum set design.
