Model Head

This cast of a head is our final imaging object this month. Models or casts such as this were used to teach students. An advantage of using models, was that they were more robust than wet specimens, as they could be passed around and handled. This particular model is made of plaster with half the brain exposed. It is mounted with a metal pin on a wooden stand.
