This is a miniature human skull made of solid cast resin. It's approximately a 1:5th scale size when compared to a real skull. The bottom is flat, allowing it to be set on a shelf or desk as a paperweight or decoration.
This realistic skull comes unpainted, allowing you to choose how or if you want to finish it. It would look equally great painted in a realistic style, done in a fanciful sugar skull motif, or made to resemble one of the many iconic skull-faced characters pop culture has to offer!
It sits just over 2" long from the back of the cranium to the front of the jaw, 1.75" tall, and just under 1.5" wide. It weighs slightly under 2oz.
This listing is for a full skull with jaw, but if you want a skull with the cranium only (no jaw), this is the one for you:

Or, if you need a flat-backed skull cabochon, with or without a lower jaw, take a look at this listing:

CAST OPTIONS
- Raw cast vs cleaned-up: A raw cast is straight out of the mold with minimal cleanup. There will be some flashing and the edges may be sharp. A raw cast will require you to do some sanding and cleanup before use. You can also choose the cleaned-up option, where we take care of removing all of the flashing and sanding the edges clean and smooth.

All of my resin props start out as a sculpture I created in oil-based clay. I make a mold of the original using silicone rubber, and then cast it in impact-resistant resin. While I don't recommend treating it roughly, this stuff is very tough!
This blank piece comes just as you see it in the photos - a blank piece cast in resin. If you choose the cleanup option, I also remove any flashing from the molding process and sand the edges smooth. This is a do-it-yourself piece, meaning it's up to you to finish, paint, and assemble it however you'd like. I'm also available to answer questions, so please don't hesitate to send me a message.
