Caption
Rather a bizarre object, but it does reflect the passion the family had for their country pursuits. Luckily, otters can still be seen swimming in the river not far from the house.

Provenance
An item from the Llanerchaeron collection, left to the National Trust in the will of John Powell Ponsonby Lewes in 1989
