AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A beautiful goat skull mounted on a plank.
to be mounted on the wall
Very striking object!

Fits well in any interior!

In the Middle Ages, goats were sometimes associated with witches and the devil. The devil was often depicted with a goat's hoof. This could be due to the fact that goats emit a foul odor and have a high sexual drive. Additionally, the restless nature of the goat might have contributed to this misconception.

As pets, goats have been introduced by humans worldwide, except in the polar regions. Globally, there are approximately 450 million goats, spread across about two hundred different breeds. In their original, dry habitats, they were mainly kept for meat and hides. Later, Europeans discovered that goats are capable of producing large quantities of milk. For people allergic to cow's milk, goat's milk is usually a good alternative.

Because it is a truly natural product, it may always have some cracks and splits!
Both in the skull and in the horns!
Teeth can also become loose and/or fall out.
This is normal. Refer to photos.

Items are carefully packaged and shipped.
