Item Description
With a beautiful patina, the model human skull cast in papier mache and hand painted in good detail with the suture lines showing, the whole once used for theatrical use and surviving from the early to mid twentieth century period on a white marble plinth.
The skull and stand are both in good original order and it is likely that the skull was attached to the stand at a later date.
This example is thought to have been used as a stage prop, being in papier-mâché it is light for theatrical use. It is well proportioned to its stand.
Unlike modern examples, this skull has a wonderful patina and superb decorative look.
