Description

saw this in Santa Fe downtown with the art and other stuff there. i did not buy any. I did buy a sheep skin but it was in a town north of Santa Fe that had one gas station and one stop sign. Good thing I stop too for gas; i did not see a gas station for over a hour and a halve. But at the gas station there was a book store and in the book store it sold the local people stuff and some sheep skin. i bought one sheep skin for $32.50. I thought it was a good price. I do not know how much these skulls are and did not look to see. i have no use for one. Long time ago when I was young I would had put candles on the skull and let the wax build up on it.

Excellent capture! There is a store in the mall here that sell skulls, but they are gator skulls. :)

Super photo Jock! I have a sheep's skull but the horns are much shorter. I found it whilst out walking on the Moors.

A very novel capture and I would have chosen the sheepskin too.

Fantastic shot of these bleached skulls, Jock. Really cool, and good luck with the sheepskin.

When I looked at the thumbnail, I didn't see the skulls for the dominate lines of the display board. I had looked at the image before, so I knew they were there. It was wild. This is an excellent image, but I'd pass on skulls too. Bird skulls are fascinating because they are so delicate, but I'm not big on skulls for decoration. Krum, (the Khan of Bulgaria in the early 800s AD) was said to have used the defeated Roman emperor Nikephoros' skull as a drinking cup. What a way to be remembered in history.

Really nice shot. I can't imagine what I'd use a skull for either, but it's kinda nice to see them on sale. Sort of. Definitely go for the sheepskin. It's at least warmer. This is a really nice shot, and I like how pale those skulls are against the background. Great details.
