For sale is this impressive vintage hand-carved panther (or black panther/jaguar-style) sculpture made from natural buffalo horn. This fierce feline is captured mid-prowl with an open roaring mouth, detailed textured fur, and inlaid eyes/teeth for added realism. The horn material gives it a beautiful translucent golden-amber sheen with natural variations and patina from age. Mounted on a solid rectangular wooden base (likely teak or similar exotic wood) for stable display. 13 inches (from nose to tail tip), height about 3-4 inches (based on the ruler photos showing the body roughly 3-4 inches tall at the shoulder/head). Weight feels substantial for its size-solid and heavy. Condition: Good vintage condition with nice patina and no major breaks. Minor natural cracks/checks in the horn (common due to material), some wear to the base edges, and possible old glue residue under the paws (as seen in close-ups). The tail is elegantly curved but thin-handle with care. No chips to the main body; eyes and details intact. See all photos for exact details-this is a display piece with character! Origin: Likely mid-20th century India (common for buffalo horn carvings of big cats), or possibly African tourist trade. Perfect for safari-themed decor, mid-century modern shelf, collector of animal sculptures, or as a unique statement piece. Measurements (approximate from photos). Total length: 13 inches. Height: 3.5-4 inches. Base: 10-12 inches long, wooden.
