Item Lore

The Graylag Goose (*Anser anser*) is widely recognized as the primary ancestor of most domestic goose breeds in Europe and North America. Its broad wings and rounded tail are hallmarks of its powerful, migratory flight, which has earned it a significant place in both agricultural history and the cultural landscape of the Northern Hemisphere.
