Story behind the product~ The springbok is the most abundant antelope in the central and western parts of South Africa. Some herds are still free roaming within some of its natural range, but most are now confined to farmlands and reserves. They are a common feature in most of South Africa national, provincial and private reserves.
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.
Country of origin ~ South Africa.
Materials~ Natural springbok skull, perspex base, stainless pole.
Dimensions~ 20cm W x 20cm D x 45cm 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.
Note about shipping ~ Freight is not calculated at checkout as we will individually source the best price for your order. Freight quotes are based on volume of stock and destination.
