One more shot of this vintage beauty. Lav was a 1930's-1940's fox stole. I acquired her from another artist on DA of whom purchased her from eBay and removed all of the stole pieces (clips, loops, etc.) and repaired her. She sadly has no legs and the fur on her sides and end of tail have been worn. Her leather is weak and is lightly yellowed on her white throat patch. She also wears the largest white tip I have ever seen on a fox tail.
Due to her age and leather state, she will remain as a wall hanger. No effort to hydrate any part of her will be made. I did a little cleaning to her face and behind her ears as there was a little bit of natural oil build upon the fur, causing it to mat slightly. She has been gone over with a gentle brush to smooth out any possible mats. No fur loss during that so I was happy to see :) The previous artist did a wonderful job with her.
Lav, and all other pelts in my collection, are in my possession with the intent to be used for artistic referencing ONLY. All pelts are handled with care.

To post something that could potentially aid someone in fur texture or even to just admire the beauty of a fox that would have died long before most artists here were born? If it were not for people posting pictures of similar subjects, a good handful of my own artisan crafts would be lacking details that only the natural and preserved can provide. I see no reason not to offer such an opportunity for others as well to expand their knowledge of markings and anatomy of such a beautiful animal.
Wow....so beautiful.
I'm one totally against fur and the use of fur for fashion(talking about the stole part of this gals life), but, you can't help to be in awe of something so beautiful.
I also love what you're doing with the pelts. Helping to show texture and patterns for artists. (:
