Description
Ancient hornbill skull, Africa, 20th century
Organic material. Natural specimen of a hornbill skull, preserved with its characteristic large beak and mounted on a base for display. It is remarkable for the powerful silhouette of its profile, the unique structure of its upper shell, and the richness of its natural tones, features that lend the piece a remarkable sculptural presence and a strong decorative value. This type of specimen has been appreciated in ethnographic contexts, natural history collections, and cabinets of curiosities for the rarity of its morphology and its striking sculptural presence. The sale, export, or movement of fauna specimens may be subject to specific regulations and the obtaining of the corresponding permits. Lot in international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipment: no import duties apply within the EU. An export permit from the country of origin may be required.
