Teaching materials - Brass - 1990-2000 - Craniometer

This craniometer is of museum-quality in both craftsmanship and construction and recalls a late 19th-century German specimen. These instruments were used for precise anthropometric measurements and allowed comparative analyses to determine personality traits based on the shape of the skull.
It is made of solid high-quality brass, every detail crafted expressly for this instrument using solid brass bars including the central column. No detail is commercial and the construction is completely custom. Produced specifically for a very demanding clientele who wish to enrich their collections with an object marked by a strong stage presence, and it is supplied with a detachable, life-size human skull in artificial resin.
The craniometer stands about 76 cm tall and 63 cm wide. It contains 42 (!) tips positioned at rest vertically in the ebony wood base with a diameter of about 30 cm
The satin finish is the same as that of antique scientific instruments and is intended to acquire a fantastic patina of time thanks to the high quality of the brass. This craniometer stands out from all other copies for the extreme professionalism of the fully artisanal execution and will surely become the central element of any scientific and curiosity collection.
