- Object description
Kranium utan underkäke. En framtand saknas. I ögonhålorna, näsan och vid öronen har vita och röda frön (Jakobs tårar) lagts in. I okbågarna är ett band fästat, från vilket ett nät av vita från utgår. I vänstra okbågen finns en tofs av växtfibrer. Generalkatalogen.
Efter analys av Damien Huffer 2018-02 konstaterades att kraniet tillhör en medelålders kvinna. Kraniets sidor och panna visar tecken på slitage, särskilt den vänstra sidan.(mibo)
Damien Huffer, analys: kvinna, 30-40 år. Generally mixed suture scores, open towards the back, more closed towards front. Teeth are very unworn for age, but no mandibular teeth to include. Relatively gracile female. Scores observable are all minimal in expression. Infilled eyes and nose and partial basicranium with hard resinous material, Job's tears and a smaller white seed. Resin and betel nut/calculus staining on the maxillary teeth. No mandible. Both ears infilled with resin and one Job's tear seed. Woven net (?) attached to zygomatics hanging off front. Numerous white seeds included and loose undecorated strings as fringe. A sheath of grass (?), dried, hangs off of left zygomatic where the net attaches. Moderate amount of handling patina. Foramen magnum and occipital condyles intact but tips of both mastoids missing, appear cut. No labels from collections before Etnografiska. Worn(?) patches on frontal and both parietals, pitting on occipital (taphonomic damage from water)? Mastoid length not possible due to tips of mastoids being cut off. No mandible. Possible porotic hyperostosis evident in the worn porous patches on frontal and parietal. Taphonomic pitting of occipital. Mastoid tips appear cut off (but not FM or occipital condyles). Bilateral thinning at spheno-frontal suture. More so on left side, almost transparent. Fenestrations on many tooth roots. No mandible.
