An outstanding, natural representation that was probaby created in concert with a scientific institution and finished by a skilled craftsman. Such anatomical models were created for medical students and became popular, because actual human cadavers deteriorated quickly. Size: measures 7-1/2" including stand, model itself measures 4".
