What is an antelope mount?
An antelope mount is a taxidermy display that features the preserved body of an antelope, a beautiful and elegant member of the Bovidae family. Taxidermy is the preservation of animal bodies in order to make lifelike reproductions of the animal for exhibition or study.
An antelope mount often comprises the preservation and installation of the antelope’s hide, head, and horns on a sculpted form, as closely as possible duplicating the animal’s natural posture and look.
The following processes are commonly included in the creation of an antelope mount:
Field Preparation:
After the antelope has been killed or discovered dead, the hunter or taxidermist will gently skin the animal, ensuring that the skin is intact and unbroken.
Preservation:
The antelope’s skin is then chemically treated to prevent degradation and preserve its original colour and texture.
Mounting:
The mount is supported by a custom-built form, which is frequently composed of foam or other materials. The taxidermist then carefully arranges and moulds the preserved skin over this form to reproduce the animal’s lifelike look.
Detailing:
Glass or other materials are used to duplicate the antelope’s eyes, ears, nose, and other facial characteristics, and the antelope’s horns, if existent, are securely connected to the mount.
Artistic Elements:
The taxidermist completes the mount’s realism by painting details, brushing the fur, and situating the antelope in a realistic attitude.
The end result is a magnificent and lifelike image of the antelope, frozen in time as an homage to its beauty and elegance. Antelope mounts are popular among hunters and wildlife lovers, as well as for ornamental reasons in museums, nature centres, and private collections, where they serve as educational and artistic exhibits commemorating the glories of the animal kingdom.
