Fantastic Black bear Rug, Really well done by a taxidermist known for great work , very thick , rich black fur, mounted on hardboard to hang from wall , hardboard can be removed if desired , I had this done by a local taxidermist , paid $ 1200.00 , I simply have run out of room for this , If you are thinking of having you bear done , save yourself hundreds and buy this one, I am very pleased with it , just have no more room
