We believe that this small skull was originally intended as an amulet, perhaps to ward off evil spirits or death. We are at large as far as its age is concerned but at first glance it seems to have some age. We have not been able though to find any information regarding the use of miniature skulls as amulets but there’s a hole in the top of the skull which was clearly intended to attach a cord so that it could be worn. Length 3.5 cm. Width 2.7 cm. Height 2.9 cm. Weight 27.5 grams.
