Delilah has been successfully repaired!
She was suffering from a particularly bad case of dry rot -- she's remarkably old in terms of her pelt, and even when I first mounted her in 2021 I could tell she was frail, but last night her body entirely broke down in a manner similar to the shattering of old silk taffeta.
I lined her carefully on the inside with overlapping patches of fabric to keep her held together, and she has made a full recovery.
