Description

The Gemsbok (Oryx gazella) is a striking species of antelope native to the arid regions of Southern Africa, including Namibia and the Kalahari Desert. Recognized by its bold black-and-white facial markings and long, spear-like horns, this antelope is built for endurance in dry climates.

Gemsbok are herbivores that graze on grasses, roots, and desert plants, and can survive without surface water by extracting moisture from their food. Their distinct coloration and majestic horns make them a favorite among collectors of African wildlife mounts.

This expertly preserved shoulder mount makes a bold statement in home décor, museum displays, or safari-themed rooms.
