We have good things in store, everything old. Did you see how beautiful the horn is? We’ve positioned it as part of a rack. (Sadly today I saw a man in the store give it a ‘museum look’, looking at it, head cocked to one side, wonderingly.) A reaction is better than none.

I’ve put it this way to share with you some interior ideas, for those of you home/room proud, or for those of you not ready to strangle us poacher-alibis… Before you jump, remember: the exotic is only exotic if time has had its way with it. Death is everywhere; rarity is more ugly than beautiful without age. I couldn’t be bothered about keeping a fresh kill for time to do its work — death is not only everywhere, it is anytime. Why kill-and-keep, for later?

This is our understanding, our reasoning.

p.s: the horn is amazing, and for sale.

It is a remarkable feat in training to have brought this unintelligent and diversified group into concerted action.

So thrilled are we by this book; the captions are severely funny, even without trying. A collector’s copy at our Books section.

Wood wildlife ornaments from Africa.

There are too many animals wandering about in the store, that we endeavor to put into the Ornaments section. All of them!
