You know sometimes you can just come to wonder how far complete anatomical parts can be used as merchandises or for trivial economic purposes, like here in southern France, a complete carved bovid skull (photo attached).<br>

<div>Bone art </div>
<div><br>
</div>
Very cool - and, of course, I especially like the Horse verts - I've always thought the cervical verts look like figures. Kind a pictured them as winged christmas angels.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>An interesting idea for research, as you say! And there are also a large amount of contemporary examples of painted and/or carved bone elements which still retain their initial form...
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The pelvis seems to regularly strike a chord as a connection with the head/face -- the 19th C recreation of a "biblical giant" from mammoth bones which used the pelvis as the skull always brings a smile, and you can google it to see lots of current uses
of the pelvis for a mask - with or without extra decoration. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Similar to the exhibition, I recently saw some horse and cattle vertebra at a local 'new age' market - aside from being animal bones, the artist had no idea what they were, just considered them art from "found objects".
<span style="font-size:10pt">Using bones as art material would be difficult to discriminate between something intended to have any ritual or spiritual meaning connected to the animal and simply an art medium. But I suppose that is always the nature of art...</span>
