£900.00 Available to purchase here from our Etsy store.

The Nubian ibex is a desert-dwelling speicies of ibex (wild goat) native to north Africa and the Middle East. Known in Hebrew as yael (יָעֵל), its horns were used by the Israelite many thousands of years ago to create the very first shofarot and have been valued for their impressive size, sound and apearance ever since. The Nubian ibex is a rare and illusive creature, so finding their horns can often be very difficult. This, paired with how highly valued they are by shofar enthusiasts across the globe means that they command a high price. We here at exotic shofars aim to provide our customers with the very best Nubian ibex horn shofarot, reflecting their value as living peices of Jewish history

Why not have a listen here. 

Our Shofarot are hand made in small quantities and finished with a natural vegetable oil coating. We take care to boil our horns before production to ensure they are fully sterile and take every precaution to make sure they are 100% kosher.

Our signature natural finish retains the beauty of the horn while keeping it still somewhat smooth to the touch. Unlike other, mirror polished shofarot, you can see the grain, the imperfections, the ridges and valleys on every one of our shofarot.

All our shofarot make perfects gitfts, be they wedding presents, bar/batmitzvah presents or any other special occasion.

Please note the shofarot pictured above are example products and may differ slightly from the product you receive.
