I'm assuming that the English word is Ibex and the German/Africaans word for the same animal is Steinbok.  Though Steinbok seems to be used as a generic term for any horned goat/antelope.  Me? I'd call the piece an Ibex,

Why don't you email the glass club and ask if you can have a contact email for "Ed"

Sorry for the confusion, as I understand it, this is the Ibex.

The critter with the two curly horns in this thread I believe to be the Steinbok as it looks a lot like the images and depictions I was able to find.

Given my track record with glass animals it may of course be a Giraffe.
