Description from the seller

Remarkable Papuan penguin (Pygoscelis papua) taxidermied – Mounted in 1957

(Pygoscelis papua).
This specimen stands out for its traceability and historical provenance documented by its original label affixed to the base bearing the following mentions:

The bird is presented standing, gaze directed upward in an alert and lively posture.
Dense, characteristic two-tone plumage, a fine, slim beak with orange hues, and faithfully preserved orange webbed feet.
The animal rests on a textured composite-base that faithfully resembles a marine rock, mounted on an original wooden tier.
