A very fine 19th C papier-mâché model of the ear, unmarked but undoubtedly made by Dr Auzoux and listed in his catalogue.

A faithful reproduction of the anatomy of the external ear, the ear canal, the mastoid and parietal bones, the middle and inner ear with all the ear ossicles. Each of the constituent parts of the inner ear apparatus comes apart showing their inter-relationships. The model sits on a black plinth (not shown) which is not original to the piece.
