Gourd Sculpted Fossil Ape Skull

To be or not to be... is that a question? LOL

Here is my first (of many!) gourd sculpted skulls! I wanted to experiment with seeing if it was possible, so I made this prehistoric ape skull for my bff BlueWolfCheetah. It's made of 4 gourds (cranium, eye sockets, mandible, jaw) and clay. It's about 10" long. The jaw for this skull is removable and the teeth are hand carved and set.

 I know it's not 100% accurate but I did the best I could with the shapes the gourds provided. I'm pretty happy with the result though, so I plan on making some human skulls and even some alien/demon/monster, dragon, and other random skulls!

And yep that's me there holding it.

Thanks for looking!
