More Information
The skull shows a loss to the left hand side of the head, with a consequent fracture running to the top of the cranium. The lower jaw and tusks are wired. The tusks are loose in the upper jaw and slide out to the limit of the wire (if manipulated, they can be completely removed from the jaw). The skull and tusks show age related discolouration and surface dirt throughout.
