Description

Description from L.A. Brown's 1959 catalog: "This is a human skull which has been sawed to show the cavities. Nerves, blood vessels, glass eyes, and some muscles have been added to show in considerable detail the relationship of these structures to the bones, teeth, etc. Impacted wisdom teeth show plainly in the lower jaw. This head was purchased from Guy (Paris) for 140 francs in 1839. It is listed in Guy's 1850 catalogue at 170 francs."
