**Shoulder-Mounted Water Buffalo Trophy — Early to Mid 20th Century

Traditional Hand-Crafted Taxidermy**

History

A striking vintage shoulder-mounted water buffalo trophy measuring approximately 105 × 115 × 90 cm. With its sweeping horns, preserved coat and expressive features, this substantial mount commands attention and instantly becomes a focal point in any lodge, bar, studio or eclectic interior.

This example was produced using traditional early–mid 20th century taxidermy methods. The visible stitching line along the top of the neck — as photographed — is typical of older handcrafted mounts. Unlike modern seamless techniques, this feature reinforces its age, authenticity and period craftsmanship.
