Description
Sterling silver plate and cowrie shell giraffe. Until the 19th century, Europeans called the sleek, long-necked African giraffe "camelopard" because very few people had ever seen one in person and the thought was that the body resembled a camel and the animal's unique markings resembled a leopard. African legend holds that the giraffe is a spiritual animal that can act as a medium between the tangible world and the realm of the heavens.
