Taxidermy: “Two-Headed Duckling”
A fluffy yellow duckling, with additional head. Mounted to wood branch slice base.
The condition bicephaly, having two heads, does occur naturally but is rare. This freak specimen is known as a ‘gaff’, having been artificially created (using real specimens) in homage to the pieces that would have originally been displayed in American Sideshows and are still displayed in oddity and curiosity museums such as ‘Ripley’s Believe It Or Not’ to this day.
A conversation piece.
