Rare antique articulated skeleton in carved wood stuccoed with plaster and patina, measuring 70 cm high.
Curiosity object dating from the 19th century or perhaps the 18th...
Probably made for didactic purposes: either for a doctor, a medical / anatomy school or as a study model for artists (painter, sculptor).
Well-preserved, with a few small missing pieces (see last 2 photos), the basin has been split and glued back together.
Curiosity collectors beware!
