Description

An authentic human femur sourced from a former medical or anatomical teaching collection.

The femur is the longest and strongest bone in the human body, forming the upper portion of the leg between the hip and knee joints.

This example displays the characteristic anatomy of the proximal femoral head and distal condyles, making it an interesting study specimen as well as a striking display piece.

Once used for medical education and anatomical reference, genuine human skeletal material has become increasingly difficult to obtain, making original ex-medical examples highly sought after by collectors of medical antiques, anatomical curiosities, osteology specimens and cabinet of curiosity displays.

Equally suitable for academic collections, artists’ reference libraries, natural history displays or scientific interiors, this is a genuine human bone specimen with significant educational and historical interest.

A fascinating addition to any collection of medical history, osteological material or anatomical teaching aids.
