Skull Door Knocker
2020
5.75 x 2.75 x 1.75”
This is a 1/3 scale bronze human skull, a decorative knocker. I designed and hand-sculpted this piece in clay for a strikingly realistic knocker. Every detail: Cranial bones meet through sculpted fissures, orbital and mandibular forms reveal the structure present in real skulls, even the foramen are carved into place. The teeth fit together and interlock to brandish that classic skeletal smile that everyone knows and loves. The architecture that gives structure to our underlying forms are modeled together to show the beauty that is the human skull.
