Skull (mass produced), n.d.

Plaster cast skull with missing teeth. It appears to have been used as a study aid for the artist, but there is no information regarding its origins. It looks to have a European stylization, but it may also be from her stay here in the United States. The cast plaster skull has been combined fairly seamlessly with shoulders and a neck, and it is suspected that Ney cast the skull and reinforced it internally. She also appears to have added the shoulders and neck to aid in her study for bust work. The teeth are sculpted rather than cast.
