Ned Kelly Gang Scrimshaw Horns c1880 – Rare Bushranger Folk Art Relic
SKU: E21075
Artefacts of Rebellion – The Ned Kelly Gang Scrimshaw Horns, Circa 1880
Carved in secrecy and steeped in legend, this extraordinary pair of scrimshawed cow horns stands as a defiant tribute to Australia's most storied outlaws – the Ned Kelly Gang. Each horn, affixed to a rustic wooden centrepiece and mounted on an aged cedar base, bears the delicate etching of figures who shaped bushranger folklore, etched not merely with tools, but with reverence and rebellion.
The right horn reveals Ned Kelly himself beneath his famed armour, his loyal steed Daylight rearing above, and Steve Hart in his fabled disguise. The left carries the likenesses of George King, Dan Kelly, Joe Byrne, and again, Hart in theatrical garb – each portrait framed by flowing Glenrowan briar-roses, symbols both tender and tragic.
Believed to be the work of George King, Ned Kelly’s elusive stepfather who vanished into New Zealand exile in 1878, this rare piece echoes with whispered loyalties. Once offered through Mossgreen Auctions in 2007, the horns are thought to have been created as a personal relic – a clandestine gift for sympathisers of the Kelly cause.
Striking in form, charged with myth, and rooted deeply in the soil of colonial resistance, this artefact is more than collectable. It is a testament – to loyalty, legacy, and the enduring allure of the Australian bushranger.

I had been looking for XVN rings as I love the style. This jasper ring is perfect. It arrived promptly and was packaged in its own ring box. I also purchased 3 other XVN rings and was pleasantly surprised that a postal refund was given as they came together in the same parcel.
My ring arrived late this afternoon. It is absolutely STUNNING & GORGEOUS. I brought this ring for a 60th birthday gift, my friend will totally love it.
