Impressive and rare solid wood skull carved to scale 1 dating from the beginning of the 19th century.
probably a memento mori, a fairly realistic conceit.
beautiful remains of green polychromy revealing the wood in places.
the details are very well executed, including below and at the bottom of the eye sockets.

A beautifully crafted skull, ideal for decorating a cabinet of curiosities.
a very beautiful ancient sculpture.
