How to Get a Head Without Hunting
Our artist merikay makes the lightweight base for this gemsbok head sculpture by hand. She uses fuzzy felt and synthetic fur for its coat, makes the tapered horns, and paints the gleaming eyes. Like all of our animal head sculptures, he is ready to hang on your wall.
For more information about how the horns are made, see the Horns and Antlers page of our How They’re Made section. | |||||||||||||||||||
About Gemsboks
The gemsbok is an African antelope with long, straight horns and distinctive markings in tan, black, and white. They live in the dry plains and sub-desert of the Kalahari in herds of up to sixty animals, and feed on grass, pods, fruits, and roots.
