Human Calvaria Trephination Framed Curio
This beautiful framed curio is 18 inches wide by 16 inches tall by 7 inches deep.
The top placard is all hand-illustrated using
pen-and-ink dip pen on hundred-year-old paper which reads:
Trepanation
(trepanning, trephination, trephining)
is a medical procedure in which
a hole is drilled or scraped
into the human skull exposing the
dura mater in order to treat
a multitude of health issues.
Secured on the left of the curio is a real human calvaria with a hole drilled into it
and to the right of the calvaria, is a vintage medical drill with four bits.
The drill worked just fine, and there is still bone dust still adhering to the bit.
This piece was mounted on vintage red velvet and framed in
a beautiful vintage wooden frame. It is ready to hang in
your own personal dime museum or sideshow.
If you are thinking of purchasing a Framed Curio Exhibit,
please read the
Bone FAQ
to make sure you are within your legal
limit when purchasing human bones, &c.
This framed curio is signed, rubber-stamped and dated on the back by Madame Talbot.
Please Note: With all of my Framed Curio Exhibits, I try to replicate
an authentic atmosphere of Victorian-era Dime Museum Patina.
This of course refers to that very special layer of age that builds up over decades,
something which I try to incorporate into all of the framed curio pieces I make.
This Victorian-era Dime Museum Patina may include one or more of the following:
vintage dust fabric, flower petals shards, glue bits, thread strands, sun faded material,
water stained, and/or smoke burned 100-year-old paper, &c., &c., and &c.
