This taxidermy specimen features a Ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in a naturalistic Victorian display. The bird is presented in its mottled summer plumage, displaying barred patterns of brown, black, and white feathers. The specimen exhibits the characteristic dense white feathering on the feet and legs typical of the species. It is posed standing within a diorama composed of dried heather and moss set upon a textured, sand-covered base. The entire arrangement is encased in a circular glass cloche resting on a turned and ebonised wooden base.
