Cat intestines, wet specimen. Europe, late 19th or early 20th century

Descriptio Organic material and glass. Dimensions: 37 × 13 cm. Anatomical preparation preserved in fluid within a glass container, designed for educational and scientific purposes for the study of the feline digestive system. This type of moist specimen was common in medical and veterinary schools and natural history departments, where it allowed for direct observation of internal anatomy. The piece now constitutes a historical record of the pedagogical and scientific research practices prior to modern methods of anatomical documentation. Lot in international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipping: no import duties apply within the EU. An export permit from the country of origin may be required. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
