Late 19th-century Sculpted Skull With Wooden Base

Description: A rare and finely carved ivory skull dating from the late 19th century. The sculpture demonstrates remarkable anatomical precision and exceptional craftsmanship. This piece belongs to the tradition of memento mori objects, symbolizing mortality and contemplation, which were highly prized by academics and collectors of the period. The skull rests on a later wooden base, allowing for an elegant presentation while preserving the integrity of the sculpture. Dimensions (skull only): Height: 14 cm Width: 10 cm Depth: 11 cm Condition: Excellent condition. The sculpture is beautifully preserved, showing slight signs of wear consistent with its age. The wooden base is a later addition.
