Bump :smile:

I love this mysterious animal skin that we found while we're cleaning at my late FIL's house. We don't know where and how he got this from and what kind of skin this is. It would be a shame to throw it away, it will not give the poor animal's life back.



This painted paper mache box souvenir I bought in Russia. Love the painting on it, so fine and delicate.

I think the skin is beautiful. maybe it's some kind of wolf? yes, it's a shame that the animal was killed (hopefully the meat was eaten & it wasn't killed just for its hide), but getting rid of the skin won't bring the animal back. I'm OK with inherited vintage skins. it looks beautiful with your red chair.

the plate is very pretty & clearly looks Russian. what a great souvenir from your trip.

Thank you f&f! I'm so happy with the skin and that little box. It's an unexpensive box but I adore it. Such a treat to my eyes :love:
