Description

A great German obstetrical model, from the second half of 1800’s. It’s not branded but it definitely feels like a Bock-Steger production.

Actually it comes from the University of Leipzig, where Karl Bock worked. It was stored in the house of a former professor for anatomy from Halle until last year and you can see in the photos its original conditions: I always love to see how such treasures can sleep for decades surviving oblivion, 2 World Wars, relocations… before being reborn.

Hand painted plaster, massive height (18 kg!), in perfect condition (2 small fingers of the foot restored), measurements are 51 x 38 x 18 cm (I’d say lifesize)
