Answers please. What is this unsettling mass??

It's from a veterinary instrument case held within the @TheDickVet collection at the @CRC_EdUni

For this archivist's sanity, I hope it is beeswax!

[OneHealth Project @OneHealthCRC]

Most archives fit in boxes. Some don't. Here is an early teaching poster from R(D)SVS detailing post-mortem findings in Clydesdale horses. Designed to be seen from the back of a room. Scale demonstrated with 5"4' archivist in heels.

Great to see this new campaign @The_Blue_Cross asking brands to stop using images of flat-faced breeds in adverts, which BVA & @UK_BWG have also been calling for. See our #PetsInAds guidelines on responsible use of animal imagery. #BreedToBreathe https://t.co/704qCvSX4S
