Item 54.
A SUPERB LIFE-SIZE CRYSTAL CARVING OF A HUMAN SKULL, the lower jaw separate, the details arc correctly rendered and the carver has given the orbits, zygomatic arches and mastoid processes the similitude of their natural forms, glabellar-occipital, length 171 mm.
This magnificent skull has been the subject of an interesting article in “Man”, vol. XXXVI, July, 1930, by Dr. G. M. Morant, with further comments by Adrian Digby and H. J. Braunholtz of the British Museum, where it has been compared with the only other life-size crystal skull in existence, that in the British Museum.
