Pictures do not do these stunning works of art justice. If they were in an art gallery, they would sell for 3-4 times as much. Shopping for the international hunter or huntress can be extremely difficult. These hand-crafted pieces will give them a gift that is priceless: a trip back to Africa the last time they watched the trackers unravel the spoor.

Since we designed them ourselves, we built versatility into them so you can decide how to enjoy them. Whether you want an elegant dresser caddy or a cigar ashtray that is a great conversation starter, we have you covered. They are at home on a dresser, on your desk at the office, or outside enjoying your favorite cigar. They are crafted to our exacting specifications, and this is another exclusive African Sporting Creations product you will not find anywhere else.

Each one is stamped with a different three-dimensional foot, hoof, or paw print from one of the Big Five. Each animal track was taken from an actual print using a plaster cast, which was then digitized and transferred to a copper stamping die to ensure realism. It shows the intricate details of the print in three dimensions. After that, an embossing die adds depth and texture to the track. These substantial pieces are bigger than a dinner plate and weigh over 5 pounds. The removable silver-plated dish measures approximately 9” across and 1” deep. Each one ships with six removable pieces that fit on the rim: three decorative accents if you want to use it as a dresser caddy and three 50-gauge cigar holders if you want to use it as an ashtray. Both of the above have a pair of metallic posts that fit into holes evenly placed around the wood rim so you can swap them out easily.

The Rhodesian Teak wood “bowl” that the silver-plated dish sets into measures almost 12” across and has black felt on the bottom. Rhodesian Teak is the only wood in the world ever declared a national treasure and when you see what it looks like, you'll understand why. This red-toned exotic wood typically features brown or black streaking. To highlight the beauty of this unique species, it is sprayed with multiple coats of high-gloss lacquer. While it is beautiful to look at, it is also incredibly tough and dense. Sections of the railway between South Africa and Zimbabwe that were installed over a century ago that utilized Rhodesian Teak railroad ties, are still in use today!

You can purchase any one of the Big Five individually or save when you buy the complete set. Choose from elephant (1/4 scale), rhino (1/3 scale), Cape buffalo (2/3 scale), or life-size paw prints of a Lion or Leopard.

These African Sporting Creations exclusives will bring you right back to the last time you were behind the trackers as they unraveled the spoor. Order now as we expect this limited run to sell out quickly. Save $500 when you order all five for $2,499 or $629 individually.
