The taxidermy is clean and well prepared, taxidermist unknown. A great pair of spiral-structured horns attached to the skull cap and mounted onto a shaped wooden shield. The Waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus) is a large antelope found widely in Savannah grasslands, gallery forests, and riverine woodlands south of the Sahara, with the males larger and heavier than the females and is of a robust build. The shaggy coat is reddish brown to grey, and becomes progressively darker with age. The face is marked with a white muzzle and has light eyebrows and just inside the ears is also light coloured. There is a cream-coloured patch (bib) on the throat with the hair on the neck being long and shaggy. The long, spiral-structured horns, found only in males, sweep back and up.
