[Nhcoll-l] displaying tanned hide

[Gegick, Patricia, DCA]

Hi list servers,
I've had a question from a local school about the best way to display a tanned deer hide.  They plan to put it inside of a plexi vitrine, but wonder what is the best surface to place it against, and what type of attachment they should use.  Is it ok to hang it or should it be displayed horizontally? Can anyone offer suggestions?  Thanks.
