The heads of bearskins

[Ironhand]

I agree with Peroni, its not likely they were going for a taxidermy type skin where they'd take it off and have a nice rug. Eyes would be gone, teeth would fall out etc. Most likely they would remove all the bits that would spoil and rot. My main question would be whether they would wear the skin in place of a cloak for warmth. If so, its likely they'd wear it fur side in since that way holds in the warmth better as the other way as soon as the fur gets cold so do you.
