Gemsbok Taxidermy Shoulder Mount, Namibia, Africa

About the Item

This is a great African Gemsbok taxidermy shoulder mount. It is posed with the head in a semi-upright position looking to the animal's right side. This a elegant example of a mount of this creature. The gemsbok is a heavy-built antelope species that can be found throughout the arid grassland and bushland environments of southwest Africa. The most notable features of the gemsbok are it's rapier-shaped horns (which can grow to several feet in length) and the distinctly exotic black and white "warpaint" facial markings on it's head. The gemsbok is typically fawn-grey in color, with a black stripe outlining it's white underbelly. The horns are removable making shipping for this easier than usual. This item can be viewed in person at The Berkshire Galleries in Great Barrington Massachusetts.
