: Head of a Red Deer with the nose painted red - "Rudolph." When lighting up of shop windows was no longer restricted after the war, Eric Gadd decorated his shop window for Christmas with the head, hence the red nose. The specimen was probably purchased from a junk shop nearby to help out a fellow shop keeper in need of cash.
