Russ – Triceratops Skull

Incredibly dramatic and substantial, this nearly complete Triceratops skull with horns is a shrine to the history of our earth. The massive dinosaur could measure over 25 feet long and weigh as much as 9 metric tons. Remarkably preserved, the curved beak, nasal and supraorbital horns, and large frill lined by fused epoccipitals strike a distinctive silhouette. Russ exhibits superb bone texture mineralized throughout the skull. This magnificent specimen is mounted on an elegant wooden base and a modern steel stand plated in rose gold. The rose gold endows a sense of flesh and vitality, renewing strength and energy. As we observe the structure’s reflections, we can contemplate our own mortality and legacy. A cumulation of art, history, and science, Russ becomes both our past and future.
