AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A distinctive and rare anatomical model of a human head, manufactured by the Japanese pharmaceutical company Minato Seiyaku (ミナト製薬). This educational model is made of sturdy plastic and is mounted on a black base featuring the original Japanese characters on the front.

The model is ingeniously designed and can be taken apart into three sections. The interior shows a detailed cross-section of the brain, the nasal cavity, the oral cavity, and the upper spine. The different medical zones are indicated with color accents. Models like this were used in the second half of the 20th century by doctors and medical students in Japan. A unique item for collectors of medical curiosities or enthusiasts of striking scientific decor.

Condition
The head model is in good vintage condition with a nice authentic patina on the plastic. Important note: one of the metal pin connections that hold the parts together is currently missing. The metal clamp at the top is present and functional, allowing the model to be displayed well. Please inspect the photos carefully for a full view of the anatomical details and the object's physical condition.
