Seat of Wisdom

I procured this skull (and mandible) when there was still flesh and tissue on it. After several months of decay time and 50 dollars worth of hydrogen peroxide, it has been cleaned, whitened, and now its currently being painted!

Its a juxtaposition of geometric and organic, with tesseracts and squares painted all over it.

I called it the Seat of Wisdom based on a Tibetan tradition. The skull - being the "seat of intelligence" - is often used in remote Tibet to make bowls and drums in the belief that the deceased's wisdom will be inherited by the user.
