Cat intestines, wet specimen. Europe, late 19th or early 20th century Organic material and glass. Dimensions: 37 × 13 cm. Anatomical specimen preserved in fluid inside a glass container, designed for educational and scientific purposes to study the feline digestive system. This type of wet specimen was common in medical and veterinary schools and natural history departments, where it allowed for direct observation of internal anatomy. The piece now serves as a historical record of pedagogical and scientific research practices that predate modern methods of anatomical documentation.
