Description

This is a very very rare & charming antique taxidermy piece....

It came back to NZ with an engineer who was working on the Panama canal from 1903 - 1910, and I've owned it for years directly from his estate

It's two alligator foetuses / babies, in a pose of dancing together

It's in an antique dome with wood base. The glass on this dome is also old & has the slightly rippled look of very old glass

Nothing else like it on the international market, but another 1920s baby alligator souvenir sold for NZ $518, back in 2013

We have 12 pieces of very unusual & sort after taxidermy to list, so please check other auctions.

DIMENSIONS: 15cm high

CONDITION: Obviously very old, so not perfect. Worst damage is a bit missing from the end of one tail

FREIGHT: Happy to package very well & post anywhere in NZ for $9, otherwise collection from Central Wellington is welcome

Please check my other listings, as we have hundreds more great pieces to list over the next few months. Today i'm listing all the art & taxidermy....
