This beautiful skull is nearly all complete, except for the hollow end to look in, has excellent form, and was exchanged out of the Cranbrook Institute by the intrepid Neal Yedline in March of 1975. For the size and pricepoint, I think its a GREAT example of this classic copper habit, unique to Michigan.
