- Description
- A pair of mounted deer antlers with part of the hair-covered head on a wood plaque. On viewer’s left the antler has two large points, one small point, and one projection (to be counted as a point the projection has to be over 1 inch).

At the base of the antler the smallest point is 12.0cm; the inward curving point closest to the viewer’s right measures 39.0cm in length and the one behind is 33.25cm in length. The depth of each antler is 10.0cm. The point span at its largest is 29.50cm, the next 28.0cm. The head part has brown/red hair, with much lighter hair on each side. The top of the head part between the antlers is 7.50cm; the base is 12.7cm. Measurements for the head part is 9.0cm x12.0cm wide, and depth 5.0cm. There are two screws through the head part to attach the antlers to the plaque. The screw on the viewer’s left, is 4.0cm from the head part base and the screw on the viewer’s right is 5.0cm from the head part base. The plaque is a shield-shaped piece of dark brown varnished wood measuring 28.0cmx26.0cm wide, and 1.0cm depth. There is a screw 3.0cm from the top to attach it to the wall. Underneath this the word “GEM” is carved into the wood. At the bottom of the plaque underneath the antlers and head part the number “86” is carved.Note: These antlers are screwed to the wall of the ‘Trading Post’ in the Luxton exhibition “Stuff of Legend” so it was hard to measure.

- Description
- A stuffed male thin horn sheep’s head (see cataloguer’s remarks) mounted on a wood plaque for hanging. The sheep head measures: 48.0cm from the neck to the top of the head; 55.0cm from the neck to the top of the horn; 44.0cm depth from neck to snout; and 59.0cm wide for the spread from horn tip to horn tip. The sheep has two large backward curling horns (right horn: 89.50cmx 31.50cm wide, depth 11.0cm) (left horn: 91.25cmx32.0cm wide, depth 11.0cm). The horns are brown and tan and have been well used. The growth rings (called annuli) number 68. The fur is light brown and light tan on the muzzle and under the chin. The mouth is sewn shut leaving a black line that leads up to the black split nostrils. The eyeballs are glass and the eyelids are black rimmed; the black line extends well beyond the inside corner of the eyes. The head is mounted on a wood shield-shaped plaque and painted brown. Below the sheep’s head, printed on the wood shield in black ink with a felt-tipped pen is “1/8/1972”, underneath that, “LONGLAKE - YUKON”, and underneath that “AL PERRIN”. On the unpainted surface of the backside of the wood shield “AL PERRIN” is printed with a black ink felt-tipped pen, underneath that “Aug 1/72”, and underneath that “LONG LAKE YUKON”. There is a hole bored into the back, 2.50cm from the top, so it can be hung on a nail or screw. There are also three holes bored into the back, into which screws have been inserted, to adhere the head to the plaque. The measurements for the wood plaque are: 56.0cmx38.0cm wide (at its widest point), 31.0cm at its narrowest point and the depth is 2.0cm.
