Item Description
A striking, extremely well-formed, nearly complete and rare copper skull from this classic locale. This was a large cobble that the molten copper flowed around and there is a small skull on the right side. A bit of blue azurite/chrysocolla and green malachite on the exterior add color. Old-time and uncommonly fine material. Ex Sal Avella Collection. Value???
