My dear, there is a profound elegance in mortality, especially when dressed for a formal occasion. A reminder of life's brevity simply encourages one to seize every adventure with more vigor.
I was given this unusual piece by a brilliant, if highly secretive, former anatomist from Vienna. He claimed this was the actual skull of a "Professor of Perpetual Motion" who designed mechanisms so complex they drove him to madness, leaving his spirit forever tied to his craft. It serves as an excellent deterrent to anyone considering giving up on a complicated aetheric formula.
This figurine, cast in sturdy hand-painted cold cast resin, is a masterful blend of the Gothic and the Mechanical:
The Cranium: The skull itself is rendered with realistic, aged detail, providing a striking foundation for the headwear.
The Top Hat: It is crowned with a jaunty brown top hat, trimmed with intricate gears, metal plating, and a decorative feather.
Goggles: A miniature pair of round goggles is permanently affixed to the hat's band, suggesting the Professor is ready to leap back into the workshop at any moment.
This is a statement piece for the most discerning collector, measuring approximately 6 3/4" X 7 1/4" X 7 1/4".
Display the Professor's Perpetual Pupil in your library, on your mantle, or among your scientific instruments. Let him whisper reminders to value every tick of the clock and never leave a great invention unfinished.
