Inspired by the skull planter carried by the Keeper of the Seeds in Mad Max: Fury Road, this skull replica was sculpted by hand and is cast in a durable urethane resin. It features an opening in the cranium which holds a small ceramic pot for seedlings, succulents, etc.
These skull planters are handmade in my shop in Portland, Oregon. The piece was originally sculpted in an oil-based clay hotsell using traditional sculpting techniques. It is not 100% anatomically correct, but it includes a level of detail similar to what you would expect to find on a real animal skull — even the bottom of the planter matches the features you would see on the underside of a skull.
Each piece is cast in a durable urethane resin which will last many years. The skulls are painted and finished by hand, and therefore each one is different. The photos show a typical paint job for each finish.
LIGHT BONE
This finish resembles the typical off-white color of bone. It includes a layer of weathering to simulate the effects of the desert environment in the Mad Max films. The color may turn slightly more yellow when exposed to sunlight.
DARK BONE
This finish is a darker version of the Light Bone finish, representing an older and more weathered skull.
BLACK
The is a matte, black finish with polished highlights in a dark gray color.
