Product description
Beautiful and very impressive stuffed Oryx Antelope bust with glass eyes and detachable horns, better known as the Gemsbok or Spiesbok, iconic antelope found mainly in South Africa. They are very recognizable by the straight ringed horns and their unique color combination on the head. This beautiful stuffed bust dates from the second half of the 20th century. A real eye-catcher in your interior. One taxidermy object is not the other; this specimen is spectacularly set up with great attention to detail and respect for the animal. The muscles and expression are beautifully faithfully rendered, which adds much more to the object and gives it real value. This one is just a little better than all the others! The Gemsbok or Spiesbok (Oryx gazella) is an even-toed mammal from the family of the cave horned animals (Bovidae) and can grow up to 2.4 meters long. Its fur is sandy brown with a black stripe layer on the flank. The head, ears, belly and legs are contrasting black and white. It is found in South-West Africa, mainly in the countries around the Namib and Kalahari deserts. These are Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia and South Africa. This animal species is not included in the CITES convention and thus may be traded freely. This item is in good vintage condition. The ears are both slightly damaged, also the horns are cracked at the bottom due to age, but structurally this is not a problem at all. This animal head still looks fantastic despite the minor imperfections. Check the photos for more details! Dimensions: 57x62x125cm.
