A large hand-engraved buffalo skull, engraved by craftsmen who passed the ancient art of engraving from father to son. The skull has been fully carved by hand with much care. It is an unusual, decorative piece. Engraved into the skull is a beautiful Traditional Balinese Motif. 

Approximate dimensions: 
Length: 59 cm 
Width: 82 cm 

NOTE:
- 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.

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 the packaging.
- Since it is a natural skull, it might have some natural minimal cracks, crevices or missing teeth. 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.
