at the top and meet together so as to form an arch
The two other horts compose the foreegs and sides
and extend back so as to lap and firmly tsten il
the forks OF the back part. The feet are original
instead OF taking old anters, the hunter brough
down" the largest living bucks, and cut the horn
out OF their heads with about three inches of bon
attached. This bone is solid and white as ivory, ant
