In good condition with minor losses consistent with age since this skull lacks a shin on the left side that has broken, as a result of a blow that has also deformed the lower jaw, giving the skull a particularly unsymmetrical mocking appearance. This is a beautiful collectible piece of 18th century for your Wunderkammern cabinet de curiosities.
