Medical Interest Antique Anatomical Wax Model of a Foetus
About the Item
A rare and very interesting antique mounted anatomical wax model of a foetus dating from the 19th century. Possibly a medical teaching aid this wonderful and well modelled figure of foetus shows the formed foetus as an unborn baby in a cradled position sucking its thumb and with its legs raised and crossed over and in a sleeping position which it would assume in the womb. The well carved foetus is made from wax with fine red veining to the body, limbs and head and is mounted on a later purpose made metal stand. A wonderful example and a real talking point!

Egyptian Antique Bronze Seated Statue of Harpokrates
Located in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire
An interesting and unusual Egyptian bronze seated figure portraying the youthful god Harpokrates (Horus the child). The figure sits unclothed with legs bent and both arms resting by his sides. His face is indistinctly molded with a wide nose and with a sidelock of hair. He wears a Pschent crown. The figure, which is removable, has a later carved and fitted oak throne. The figure has an all over black patina. The figure does have some antique age although may be an Egyptian revival piece and would benefit from further research. We are therefore offering this as a later example and priced accordingly.
Harpokrates was one of the most popular deities in the Egyptian pantheon. He was the offspring...
