Common Warthog Shoulder Mount

Common Warthog (Phacochoerus africanus)

South Africa, Late 20th Century

Prepared by Trans Africa Taxidermists, Muldersdrift

A characterful and highly decorative adult male Common Warthog shoulder mount, expertly preserved and mounted with the head turning naturally to the left. Displaying the unmistakable facial structure, prominent tusks and distinctive features that have made the warthog one of Africa's most recognisable species, this is a superb example of classic African taxidermy.

The specimen exhibits impressive ivory-coloured tusks, well-defined facial "warts", coarse mane hair and a wonderfully expressive appearance that captures the rugged personality of this iconic animal. Few African species possess the same combination of character, charm and visual impact as the warthog, making it a favourite amongst collectors of natural history and safari memorabilia.

Prepared by the respected Trans Africa Taxidermists of Muldersdrift, South Africa, the mount demonstrates quality craftsmanship throughout and offers excellent decorative appeal for country houses, hunting lodges, private collections, bars, restaurants, film productions and luxury interiors.

Its compact size makes it particularly versatile, allowing it to serve as a striking focal point without requiring the wall space demanded by larger African game mounts.
