Material: skin; hair; keratin; glass; wood; metal

Dimensions: 57.0 x 59.5 cm

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.
