Story behind the product~ Blesboks endemic to southern Africa and is found in large numbers in all national parks with open grasslands, from the Highveld north of the Vaal River southwards through the Free State, to the Eastern Cape. It is a plains species and dislikes wooded areas.
We strive to source our pieces with as much background knowledge as possible. All of the suppliers we work with collect animals that have died naturally either on farms or in the wild. Others preserve the way of life that their culture has thrived on by hunting and trapping, using all parts of the animal in the process. Bones and skulls from animals are a byproduct of the farming industry, as well as these cultural practices.
Skull comes fully mounted on perspex base. Horns have an oiled finish.
Country of origin~ South Africa.
Materials~ Natural blesbok skull, perspex base, stainless pole.
Dimensions ~ 15cm W x 20cm D x 67cm H
All measurements are approximate.
Each piece has been intricately created by hand. If there are small flaws it is a sign and proof of human touch, making each and every piece unique with tiny little differences.
