Item Description
A killer large copper "skull" from the historic mines of the Keweenaw Peninsula. This stunning, incredibly sculptural well-formed 360-degree piece has dramatic deep walls with a mellow copper patina. The rugged outer surface of the skull is a fine complement to this outstanding bowl-like specimen. This was a large rock cobble, that the molten copper flowed around and then the rock inside was subsequently dissolved away - a strange and unusual Michigan copper district oddity! Old-time large copper skulls with impressive form are rare and highly desirable. This is easily the largest very fine copper skull we have offered at auction. Pieces of this size and quality are usually reserved for our Gallery. Here's your opportunity to obtain an exceptional large classic copper skull at a reasonable price point. Fairly valued at $3000-4000 for size and quality.
