Polished Oryx Skull for Hanging - Wall Trophy
South African Oryx gazella
The skull and horns have been fully polished.
Sourced from reserves in South Africa where herds must be managed.
This large bovid with a light coat is one of the "true unicorns" of the Middle Ages.
Indeed, seen in profile, the long horns of the oryx are superimposed, which perhaps explains the confusion of the unicorn.
In the Middle Ages, when northern merchants offered narwhal teeth, caravans from the East and Africa brought back these long straight horns from white animals, sold at a high price in the cabinets of wonders as authentic proof of the existence of the white unicorn!
Although the population declined in the 20th century, the species is no longer endangered today. On the contrary, conservation efforts have been so successful that the oryx now competes with domestic livestock for access to pastures and water sources.
Oryxes typically have long, straight horns, ringed at the base, pointing backward.
This species is not endangered and is not listed on the CITES list of the Washington Convention.
