Didactic horse skull, France, 20th century

Descriptio Bone and wood. Dimensions: 57 × 33 × 26 cm. Anatomical model for educational purposes, consisting of a horse skull mounted on a wooden support, prepared for the study of bone structure. The skull has been sectioned laterally to show the implantation of the teeth below the gum line and the interior of the cranial cavity, allowing its use in educational and scientific contexts. This type of model was common in veterinary schools, natural history collections, and educational collections, and today constitutes an interesting historical record of anatomical teaching. Lot in international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipping: no import duties apply within the EU. An export permit from the country of origin may be required. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
