Ladies and Gentlemen,

well, this is of course not a work of art. Amazing craftmanship - yes
(if it's not a product of a 3 D printer, of course ^^)

One might call this object obsessive, even idiotic. Nevertheless, the
shape of the skull is a perfect sculpture of itself, and I don't
hesitate finding it fascinating to follow the Widmanstaetten patterns
and their transformations through the utmost complexe sculptural
landscape of volumes, depressions ...

I agree, the imagination of the wasted material makes depressive.

Conclusion? I personally would prefer a good sculpted, well sized Gibeon
individual in as found condition. Together with an etched endcut. (Would
absolutely do to keep the pic in a virtual poison chest for contemplation.)

Regards

Matthias
