4282 – Alligator Skin
- Physical description:
- A rolled-up, roughly rectangular piece of alligator skin, of a rich golden/reddish brown colour, with darker markings. There is considerable variation in the size of the scales, with the ones on the edges much larger than the ones in the middle. There are also some lines of tiny holes, as if the skin has been put through a sewing machine.
