Natural Kudu Skull Double Step Glass Base

A cast resin replica of a kudu skull mounted on a double-step glass base. The skull is rendered with surface detail — horn sweeps, bone structure, nasal cavity — consistent with the kudu's distinctive spiral horns and elongated face. The glass base adds a two-tiered lift that separates the piece from the shelf and lets it read as a display object rather than a prop. Made in China by Contrast Inc. under their Modern World line. Weight is approximately 9.5 lb. combined.

The piece sits in a tradition of natural history display — the kind of object that populated Victorian curiosity cabinets and the shelves of collectors who found equal interest in zoology and aesthetics. Cast resin allows for consistent reproduction of anatomical forms at a price point that places the object in reach of decorators, not just institutions. It reads well alongside other specimen-style objects, raw stone, dark wood, and framed botanical or anatomical prints.

At 28 inches tall, this is a vertical statement piece that works on a console, library shelf, or study desk where height is an asset. The glass base keeps it from sitting too heavily on a surface and makes it easy to reposition. It suits rooms with an editorial or collected sensibility — a study lined with books, a living room corner anchored by a floor plant, or an entryway where the first impression leans toward the unexpected.
