Horned Ram Skull and Sheep’s Skull Pair
This lot comprises two animal skulls: a horned ram skull and a sheep’s skull. The ram skull retains a pair of substantial horns that rise from the crown and curve outward, while the sheep’s skull is presented without horns, showing the open structure of the nasal and sinus areas. Both skulls display the characteristic dentition and bone structure of ovine specimens, with the ram example showing a broad, heavy cranium. The pair would suit those interested in rural curiosities, natural history displays or decorative bone collections.
Condition and Collectable Appeal
Both skulls show general signs of age and handling, with some surface staining and wear to the bone, particularly on the horned example. The sheep’s skull shows areas of damage and loss to the frame, with the internal structure exposed. Neither piece has been restored or altered as far as can be determined, and the original bone is presented as found. Collectors of natural history specimens, rural artefacts and vanitas-style objects may find the pair of interest, particularly as a matched comparison of horned and hornless ovine anatomy.
