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.

  • Surrealist Painting By Charles Oscar American Circa 1956
    By Charles Oscar
    Located in Hudson, NY
    A rare piece to be found. Due to his early demise the number of works available by this artist are limited. His work can be found in every major collection in the United States. He was a Guggenheim Fellow, Museum of Modern Art Curator and rising Futurist Artist who was murdered in his New York apartment in 1961 when he was only 38 years old. Titled "Hypnerotomachia", the name means 'the act of falling in love in a dream'. This amazing and rare piece was created just one year after his success with exhibiting at the Venice Biennale of 1956. Semi-abstract composition and very dream like. This painting retains the original carved and gilded Hydenryk frame and has been professionally cleaned and conserved. His work can be found in every major collection in the United States.
