Using a digital caliper: Exact Measurement : Length: 3.7" Height: 2.5" Width: 2.3" Several teeth missing please check pictures Most of the Macaca Fascicularis skull pieces I am selling are antiques, tribal trophies of the Philippines Luzon Ifugao Igorots, which may date back from the late 1800s to 1900s till the 1970s. Few are from the 1980s and beyond. Nevertheless, they are priced only for their taxidermy collectibility, not for their antiquity. Check the pieces you like; these are RARE pieces. These were hunted during food scarcity. Ever since headhunting was outlawed, these monkey skulls replaced those of the human skulls in the Ifugao abodes. This is your chance to own a genuine macaca skull!

These are trophy/taxidermy collections previously hanging on the houses of Ifugao Igorots. Some had rattan binding, but most were removed. Many had a thick soot patina but were cleaned to look much better. Cleaned with soap and water only; you can clean further if you prefer. Combined shipping for multiple purchases Thanks!
