Lot 96 An Antique Taxidermy Bat Specimen in a Glazed Wooden Shadow Box

A full-body taxidermy mount of a bat, presented with wings fully extended and mouth open in an aggressive pose. The specimen is mounted against a white background within a rectangular wooden shadow box frame featuring a reddish-brown finish and a glass front. A printed paper label is fixed below the specimen, reading Thick Fared Bat. This is likely a typographical error for the Thick-eared bat (Eptesicus pachyotis). The interior of the case contains a small white cube with a black dot in the bottom right corner.
