Buffalo, or Bison, have long represented the spirit of the American West. These large and majestic creatures have roamed the plains for centuries providing food, warmth, shelter, t ools and clothing for many tribes of Native Americans. While wild populations are not what they used to be, these animals are farm raised all over North America with their superb meat being sold in many U.S. grocery chains. These skulls are perfect for hanging over a door or fireplace mantle. They can be decorated in a variety of ways, or they can be used to accentuate your landscaping. They hold up extremely well in diverse climates and conditions (even outdoors!), and each skull comes with a leather loop attached to the back of the skull, so it is ready to hang when you receive it. This skull will add uniqueness and authenticity to your arts and crafts products, creating a natural and earthy feel along with reverent warmth that cannot be reproduced through synthetic replicas. Bison skulls are roughly 19-21 inches long from top of head to bottom of jaw, about 10 1/2 inches wide at the eye sockets and 8-9 inches deep Horn spread from tip to tip is 20-26 inches depending on the curvature of the horns Skulls are boiled and treated with enzymes or enzyme substrates to produce a clean finish without degrading the bone. The photos represent examples of the skull you will receive. All of our natural skull and bone products are obtained through legal ranching, hunting, and trapping operations throughout the United States and Canada. The companies that we work with for cleaning these products support us in the use of the entire animal including the hide, bones, claws, meat and grease produced during cleaning. We continue to support indigenous peoples and rural lifestyles whose livelihood depends on the sale of animal byproducts. Show more
