This vertical shot displays a museum case filled with numerous taxidermied small mammals, likely part of a natural history collection in Ponta Delgada, Portugal. The subjects are arranged on individual dark or wooden bases within the glass-enclosed exhibit. The display features a variety of mustelids, including ferrets, weasels, and polecats, posed in static, lifelike positions. Some specimens resemble rodents, such as rats or mice. Towards the upper right, a larger, light-colored, fluffy animal, possibly a taxidermied puppy or a similar small mammal, stands on an elevated platform. Several identification labels are visible on the bases. One clearly reads "Mustela putorius L. ♂" (European Polecat, male), followed by numbers and "J. Hagues". Another label identifies a specimen as "Mustela nivalis L. ♂" (Least Weasel, male) and specifies its geographical origin as "Açores Santa Maria Formigas," referencing the Azores archipelago where Ponta Delgada is located. The display case's glass front shows significant reflections and glare, creating vertical white streaks that partially obscure some areas of the exhibit. The setting is an indoor environment, typical of a scientific or historical museum showcasing preserved animal specimens.
