Miles Griffiths Antiques Ltd has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
A good clean set of Victorian antique Situtunga horns, mounted on an oak shield shaped plaque.
It differs from all the other antelopes in having elongated hoofs which help to support its weight in the soft mud of the swamps where this animal makes its home.
It stands about four feet high and has typical Bushbuck horns, although longer, a set just under three feet having been recorded.
Like the typical Bushbucks, the female is bright chestnut, while the male is grayish brown. Both sexes have the white stripes.
In very good condition.
Now in our Clitheroe antiques showroom.
