Description from the seller
Replica of the MACHAIRODUS Gigante skull (The real museum piece)
This lot is an exhibition piece of scientific importance and a masterpiece of sculpture. It is a large-scale replica of the skull of Machairodus cat. (Sabertooth Cat), an ancestor of the more famous Smilodon and one of the largest predators of the Pleistocene. Its size and hyper-realistic finish make it a flagship item for any natural history collection.
Exclusive Features
Dimensional Impact: The skull, mounted on the base, measures a total length of 60 cm, dominating the environment in which it is displayed.
Subject rarity: Unlike the common Smilodon replicas, Machairodus is a less frequently encountered subject, sought after by collectors for its evolutionary significance.
Double Construction Technology: Made with sturdy PETG for the main skull structure (ensuring stability and volume) and with Epoxy Resin for the finer details (such as the saber teeth) for extreme fidelity.
Hyper-realistic finishing: The patina is applied by hand through a complex aging process that faithfully reproduces fossilized bone, surface cracks, and color variations of the earth.
Modern setup: The skull is presented on a custom base that mimics stone or concrete (please specify the base material if known) with a clean and contemporary design.
Collection sizes
Total length (with base): 60 cm.
Total height: 22 cm
Total width: 22 cm.
Skull length (only): 35 cm
Ideal for: museums, Pleistocene fauna collectors, or as a striking sculpture for luxury environments.
