Hand-Carved Nguni Cow Horn Scrimshaw – African Safari Animal Art from Zimbabwe

Bring the spirit of the African savanna into your home with this hand-carved Nguni Cow Horn Scrimshaw, crafted by skilled Shona artisans in Zimbabwe. Each horn features intricately etched images of Africa’s most iconic wildlife—including the elephant, rhino, giraffe, lion, cheetah, zebra, and buffalo—etched using traditional scrimshaw techniques.

Ethically sourced from local Nguni cattle, known for their striking horns and strong cultural ties to Southern Africa’s Zulu people, these decorative pieces showcase the natural beauty of the horn: a rich, dark tip fading into a creamy base. Set on a handcrafted wooden base, every horn is truly one-of-a-kind.
