African Stitched Cowhide Wall-Hanging, Leaping Kudu Antelope, 64"H

Lot description

Decorative African stitched hide wall-hanging animal picture, The Leap, depicting a greater kudu suspended in a jump, executed in Nguni hide, partially obscured marker's mark on back, approx 64"h, 30"w, 6.75lbs Provenance: Vukari Art, artisan-crafted from 100% Nguni Cowhide Note per consignor: Of all the African antelope, the Kudu’s corkscrew horns are the longest and most spectacular of them all, twisting with a grace found nowhere else in the wild. African tradition tells that once the Creator finished the earth and its creatures, He took His last brush of white paint and drew a single, perfect stripe across the Kudu’s nose, declaring him the most beautiful of all. This piece captures that legendary elegance: the silent, spiraled majesty of a spirit that disappears into the shadows the moment it is seen.
