Real desecrated human skull, features an antique trephine skull drill tool believed to date back to the 1880s or possibly earlier. The trepanation tool, also known as a trephine, was historically used to remove sections of bone from the skull, often as a treatment for skull fractures, headaches, epilepsy, or even to release evil spirits. The custom-made base provides a striking display, showcasing the tool and a real piece of human skull used in the preparation. This is an extraordinarily rare, medical antiquity for collectors of historical medical devices and human anatomy.

Trepanation, a surgical procedure that originated in Neolithic times, was still practiced into the 1800s, with instruments like this one being essential to the process. This piece is not only a macabre relic of medical history but a captivating artifact of the belief systems and practices of ancient medicine.

This skull and trepanation tool combo is a one-of-a-kind display for any serious collector of medical oddities, historical human remains, or curiosities.
