Male Musk Ox Hide (182-G2194) Y1K

Description

This listing is for one large Musk Ox Hide.
You get the EXACT hide shown in the photographs.
This male (bull) musk ox hide came from a licensed hunt in Alaska. The hide was home-tanned and is stiffer than other musk ox hides we have seen before. At parts the hide could be as stiff as cardboard. It has some small, sticky flecks of hide that are mostly on the back side. These flecks are probably bits of hide that got scattered onto the hair when the hide was scraped.
We were the supplier for the muskox hides used in the movie 10,000 B.C.
