Real photos of the Skullies lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and Cape buffalo, each on a Skullies display pedestal

  • Scanned, not sculpted

    Each of the five starts as a laser scan of a real, ethically sourced skull, printed at roughly 1:6 scale.

  • Hand-painted in South Africa

    Painted by local South African artists, so no two are identical.

  • Own a piece of the wild

    The little things are what make life wonderful.
