MOUNTS AND TOILES

A mount is a professionally preserved and artfully recreated three-dimensional representation of an animal, designed to capture its lifelike anatomy and natural posture using the original cape. A toile mount is a beautifully treated and preserved skin or leather piece prepared to be displayed flat as a rug or wall hanging mount rather than sculpted into a full body form.
