Hand painted Oryx Skull

I purchased this oryx skull at a flea market and it hung in my garage for quite a long time before I got to it.  The horns are a bit rugged so I dressed them up with leather bindings in alternating colors that compliment the paint.  I wanted to pay homage to the animal’s origins and decided to go with an African type of pattern.  This will be one of the skulls I will be exhibiting at the Texas Wildlife Organization’s annual convention at the Marriott Hill Country Resort here in San Antonio in July.
