This ornate Victorian raven skull measures a mere 7/8" long, yet still retains the correct anatomical shape of life size raven skull . It is cast in solid bronze, slightly oxidized to highlight the high relief ornate floral design carved onto the forehead. The chain runs right through the eye sockets giving it a very clean look without any huge unnatural protrusions projecting off the back of the tiny skull.... one of those times when less is more.
