The fox in the wall


When I first saw this fox's head peering out of the hole in this stone wall I was startled. Was it real or was it a toy? Closer inspection showed it to be real but long dead since it was stuffed and mounted on a wooden shield. Clearly it was someone's trophy and had presumably "decorated" someone's wall before it found this resting place. I imagine it was someone's idea of a joke to place it in the wall. If so, it was in poor taste.
