TAXIDERMY: FREAK ‘TWO-HEADED DUCKLING’ GAFF IN GLASS DOME,

a fluffy yellow duckling, with additional head, sat atop a moss mound, displayed under glass dome,

22cm high x 14.5cms wide

The condition bicephaly, having two heads, does occur naturally but is rare. This 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.
