The skull bowl is Tibetan, so a lot more recent.

I’m curious about the painted bowl created from a human skull. The ancient Scythians used to do this. I wonder if it’s from the ancient world, or from a more recent Hannibel?

Loren is correct that he and others are part of a “new growing breed” of collectors. The fundamental reason for this is the near extinction of sideshow, as sideshows commonly exhibited gaffs like this years ago.

I believe the rarest of the rare is the genuine “pickled punk”, of which I’ve seen one. While I was not able to dissect the artifact I saw, I’m convinced it was genuine by the presence of lanugo hair.

My prediction for the future is for gaffs of “alien-human hybrid babies” to be encased in clear epoxy and sold on e-bay…
