Life size



2021



The actual sculpting can be done in one week. The reconstruction of the skull takes longer.












My thanks to mr. Fred van Immerseel of the department of anatomy and embryology and mr. Joost Roelofs of the department of radiology of the LUMC Leiden, The Netherlands. Also, my thanks to the archaeologist that excavated the skeleton; Mr Theo ten Anscher. He shared all the information about this skeleton. Last; I want to thank the museum of Schokland, in the person of mr Henk Kloosterman, for giving me this wonderful project.
