Description:
This object is a component of a papier mâché model of the human ear. The larger model is clastic, which is to say separable into smaller parts. The pictured model seems to be of the outer ear -- the pinna and ear canal. The model is unsigned, but shows a marked similarity to other Auzoux models in the collection. Presumably, other component parts of this model, or the stand they were meant to rest on, bear the maker's signature.
