Item Details

The Affe mit Schädel ("ape with skull"), is a famous work by the late-19th century German sculptor Hugo Rheinhold. The statuette is otherwise known as the “Affe, einen Schädel betrachtend” (chimpanzee viewing or contemplating a skull). It was first exhibited in 1893 at the Große Berliner Kunstaustellung (Great Berlin Art Exhibition). Some people, believing the sculpture to be a commentary on Creationism, call it "Darwin's Mistake."

This replica, which is a deep brown color like ebony, measures 7 1/4" tall. The base is 4" x 3 1/2". We think it is constructed from resin, but we cannot say what material for certain.
