Description

Height: 18cm

An authentic human temporal bone specimen, originally utilised for medical teaching and anatomical study, now mounted for display.

This bone forms part of the side and base of the skull and houses key structures relating to hearing and balance.

The specimen clearly demonstrates the complex contours and formations of the temporal region, including the external auditory canal and surrounding anatomical features.

Its sculptural, irregular form highlights the intricacy of human cranial anatomy, offering both educational value and strong visual presence.

Mounted on a simple stand, the piece is presented for clear viewing, making it suitable for display while preserving its integrity.

Ex-medical specimens such as this were once essential tools in medical education and are now increasingly sought after within collections of natural history and scientific artefacts.
