Welding along the spine in particular has been left exposed to give a more accurate representation of bone.Finished as finely brushed steel and partially polished then clear lacquered. Made ina walking pose with a stand for display. This design can be reproduced and can be made in other metals such as StainlessSteel, or wax / lacquered or painted. Can also be made in different sizes and poses.n.b. Copies although close can never be exact due to differences in the metal and weld finish.
