Higher volume safari outfits majoring on kudu have all sorts of non-typical heads. "Hunting The Spiral Horns : KUDU" shows a few. Blaauwkrantz Safaris (Rudman family) keep some of the oddball horns around. That heart shape is a first!

I think it would look best as an European mount. That would really accentuate the horn curvature versus the head.

I'd take this Kudu over a 60" anyday

Pen raised using horn weights or did this occur naturally? Very cool either way.

I wonder if vinegar has the same effect on horn material as it does with eggs. Wink

It does with ivory! The ancient Greeks used vinegar to soften and peal ivory into flat panels and used it to line the insides of the Parthenon.
