Raccoon Taxidermy Pelt Rug with Paws and Claws - A professionally prepared taxidermy pelt of a North American raccoon (Procyon lotor), styled as a flat rug mount.

The pelt includes the head skin with ears, as well as four complete paws retaining visible claws. The leather underside is professionally tanned to a supple, light-tan suede finish. A handwritten mark in black ink is visible on the leather side near the head, consisting of the number 1 followed by an 8 or 0. The edges of the hide show irregular trimming consistent with the hand-tanning process. Length: 36 inches from the nose to the base of the tail; the tail extends an additional 6 inches. Width: 26 inches across the widest point of the hind legs.
