Russian pony and sheep from Bomarsund, brought by Captain Hall, H.M.S. "Hecla", 1854. Animals and war trophies taken from Finland during the Crimean War by a British naval officer. 'The sheep is very small, with a coat...of very short, curly wool. It generally resembles a Welsh sheep; is broad across the eyes, and has small black horns...The pony is also black, with a star in the forehead, a white stripe on the bridge of the nose, and a white mark between the nostrils...The feet are in good order; of course they have not yet been shod...behind the sheep is a piece of granite taken from the fortress of Bomarsund; and on the top of it is a shell also from that place'.
