not really sure what i was trying to accomplish here. i guess an experiment with character contrast? anyway i posted this on instagram as well and im just gonna pray to the algorithm gods that i dont get smited hahahahhah.
TOTALLY FORGOT TO POST ABT THIS FELLA. My friend gifted me this cow skull and it's officially the biggest one in my collection, I don't even know where to put it, it's just sitting on my piano for now lol
Look at this oddball calf skull. Too many little things are... off. Wide, short, stabby nasal bones. Cavernous rostrum. Brachy-dog-ass foramen magnum. Holes in the cranium. Missing back of orbits.
My best guess is it had a touch of hydrocephalus. What do you think?
I made a special trip to go find bone carvers in Bali. There were so many in Tampaksiring (near Ubud) I couldn’t even go in all the stores. Some invited me back to watch carving and interview, and I got some good interview, but I’m wondering if I have time to go back and learn a bit.
This store is Wayan Special Carving, at BaliCarving10.blogspot.com.
