Armadillos were made into baskets and such back in the 30’s and 40’s. This one had a lining at one time. You can tell by some fine even holes that have been pierced on the edges. Another liner could easily be replaced if you chose. I think he looks better naked myself. Otherwise he seems to be in a great lifeless state.

Are we sure there’s a market for antique dead animals?
