Mozambican Warthog Tusk Mounted On A Wooden Base, Dated 1967

An authentic warthog tusk from Mozambique, dated 1967 and mounted on a custom-made wooden base. This attractive collector’s item combines natural history, safari heritage, and decorative appeal. Collected during the golden age of African safaris, this tusk serves as a fascinating testament to hunting and exploration in Southern Africa in the mid-20th century.

The tusk features the characteristic curved shape and natural coloration unique to the African warthog. Its elegance and naturally polished surface highlight the material’s remarkable structure, while the wooden base enhances its presentation and allows it to be displayed as a sculpture.

Its provenance adds to its historical interest, directly linking the piece to Mozambique in 1967. These mounted trophies were traditionally displayed in hunting lodges, libraries, country estates, and collections of natural curiosities, where they served both as decorative objects and as mementos of African wildlife.

Compact yet visually striking, this piece is ideal for a library, an office, a hunting lodge, a cabinet of curiosities, a safari-themed interior, or a collection of African and natural history objects.
