About the Item
‘Hippotragus Niger’ – Sable Antelope
With their astonishing horns and painted faces, sable antelope are one of Africa’s most iconic species. Growing their horns over a lifetime, they can grow up to 1.6 metres in length. Each year they develop a new ring, so the sable’s horns can be used to determine age.
Part of the hippotragini tribe of horse antelopes, in the Greek language hippos means horse and tragos means a he-goat. Niger is the Latin word for black or dark-coloured. So their scientific name translates as ‘black horse-like goat’
Sable can run at 57 km/h to escape their predators and have been known to be able to maintain this speed for more than 3 km
Horns – the sable’s final form of defence. When attacked a sable will run but when cornered will fight back. However when competing for females and territory bulls will either posture and have also been seen to ‘fight’ by dropping to their knees to engage in lengthy horn wrestling battles
Bronze Sable Bust, Limited edition of 12. Height 71 cm x width 47 cm incl. base. Bronze on Sandstone base
It is hard to forget the first time you see the magnificent Sable antelope - the black shiny coat and those impressive and curved horns.
Inspired by many years in the bush spent in close study of my favorite subject, my sculpture endeavours to pay tribute to Africa's rich wildlife heritage.
Each piece is sculpted, cast using the lost wax method of bronze and then chased and finished individually by hand by myself.
Made on order

Greetings from the southern hemisphere, Firstly a thank you to you for looking at my work and to 1st Dibs for providing this excellent platform to artists. My passion for Africa, its people and wildlife are an enduring hallmark of my life. Much of my bronze art is inspired by Africa's magnificent wildlife and people. Taking inspiration from the bush and my previous experience as a safari guide my creations strive to capture the essence and beauty of the animals I sculpt. My expertise ranges from figurative, wildlife, bird, abstract to African works and more recently bespoke furniture & lighting in cast bronze. Each piece is exclusively sculpted, cast, chased and finished by myself – from beginning to end. Using the lost wax method of bronzing, I cast each piece at my own foundry (The Black Dog Foundry) and it is finished individually by hand with each piece and patina being unique. Warm regards Heinrich Filter Commissions Commissions for sculpture and bespoke bronze furniture & lighting can be undertaken in bronze and are available in any size and are all exclusively sculpted and finished by the sculptor himself. Price on application. Please contact my agent 1st Dibs.
