Description

Height: 25cm

An authentic bat skeleton presented in an upright anatomical pose beneath a clear glass dome on a turned, dark-finished base.

The delicate skeletal structure is fully articulated, with elongated forelimbs and extended finger bones clearly demonstrating the distinctive wing anatomy characteristic of Chiroptera.

The ribcage, spine, and skull are proportionally arranged around a central support, allowing the fine bone structure and symmetry of the specimen to be viewed from all angles.

Displays of this type draw on historic natural history and anatomical presentation, where bat skeletons were used for comparative study and later collected for their visual and scientific interest.

The dome format echoes 19th- and early 20th-century cabinet-of-curiosities traditions, combining preservation with theatrical presentation.

The contrast between the pale bone and the dark base emphasises the intricate form of the skeleton while maintaining a restrained, museum-style appearance.

This piece is suited to collectors of natural history, anatomical specimens, or curated curiosity displays, and works equally well as a focal object or as part of a larger collection.

Care instructions
For indoor display only. Keep away from direct sunlight, excess humidity, and heat sources. Clean the glass dome gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid unnecessary handling or opening of the dome to reduce exposure to dust.
