ABSTRACT:
An improved trophy mount is provided for inexpensively displaying horns, antlers and the like, in a life-like, three-dimensional fashion. The mount preferably includes a simulated skull structure, configured to resemble the upper portion of the head of the animal involved, with the simulated skull encapsulated in a material, such as leather, vinyl, or other sheet material, to enhance its realistic appearance. The simulated skull includes a pair of upraised laterally spaced, horn-securing regions, an elongated bore in each region, and an elongated, horn-receiving dowel secured in each bore and protruding therefrom. Preferably, the simulated skull is secured to a plaque or support panel by an elongated, obliquely-oriented extension brace for display on a wall or table top. For mounting, the horns are removed from the animal at the base, where the horns join the head of the animal. Holes are axially drilled in the base of each horn and each horn secured to the trophy mount by sliding the hole in the horn over the dowel and gluing it in place.
