  • Mounting: Once the skin is prepared, it is mounted on a structure called a mannequin. The mannequin is typically made from materials like polyurethane foam or specially sculpted forms to represent the posture and shape of the animal. The cape is then stretched and fitted onto the mannequin to reproduce the silhouette and appearance of the live animal.

  • Finishing: After the skin is mounted on the mannequin, additional details can be added to enhance the appearance of the cape. This may include glass eyes, artificial teeth or claws, as well as coloring techniques to replicate the patterns and color nuances of the animal.

  • Conservation: To preserve the cape over time, conservation measures are often taken. This may involve the use of special chemicals to prevent damage from insects or moisture exposure, as well as regular care to maintain its appearance and durability.
