DISCLAIMERS
- There is a drawstring attached to the skull so that it can be mounted on a wall.
- The horns will be detached for transport purposes, and are easily reattached. The horns are always packed on the bottom of the box, underneath the skull. Please make sure to remove the horns before discarding of the packaging.
- Since it is a natural skull, it might have some natural minimal cracks and crevices in both the skull and the horns. This is normal. Please refer to pictures.
- Our skulls are cleaned professionally, but sometimes minor discoloration still occurs on the teeth. This is natural and normal, and not something we can do a lot about. Please refer to the pictures.
- We’ve added some pictures of our craftsmen at work to give an impression of what the process of creating a carved skull looks like.
- THE WEIGHT MENTIONED IS INCLUDING PACKING MATERIAL.

We have over 10 years of experience working closely with Indonesian artisans. Because of this, our expertise lies in identifying high-quality workmanship, natural materials, and unique pieces that stand out.
