Condition
Overall in our opinion the skull presents well with the exception of an internal crack to outside corner of the left eye socket that's is approximately 3/8th inch long. This crack is visible in the catalogue illustration. Please note that the color in the catalogue is not wholly accurate. In reality the green is a deeper sea-green. The skull exhibits excellent stylized carving.
