Gothic life-size black skull on wood pedestal — handcrafted in Florida by Disney & NASA artisan. Perfect Halloween & year-round décor for collectors, curators & spooky art lovers.
Step into a world of antique intrigue with this life-size black skull sculpture and pedestal, part of the NEW Catacomb Curiosities Collection by Tilted Tombstone Studios. Handcrafted in Florida by Jeffrey Michael Stelter, a master fabrication artist for Disney, NASA, Lucasfilm, and Universal Studios, this museum-quality piece is made from premium rotocast resin and set on a solid wood pedestal. It blends the elegance of Victorian antiques with the mystery of historical artifacts, making it a statement centerpiece for collectors, curators, and lovers of fine Gothic and spooky Halloween decor.
Each piece is individually crafted in our Florida workshop. Our full-sized human skull is professionally rotocast in high-strength resin, lighter and stronger than the low-grade plaster used by competitors. Our skull is cast in an original mold of an actual human skull, and even has a zygomatic bone pass-through, not common on lower-quality cast pieces, where it is solid to make casting easier. The skull is mounted on a solid wood pedestal with a felted base, ensuring both stability and elegance. The matte black finish highlights subtle textures and contours, evoking the timeless charm of museum exhibits and private collections.
Perfect for:
A dramatic mantel or table centerpiece
A refined addition to a gothic-inspired library or office
A conversation piece for collectors of historical and anatomical art

Why Choose This Skull Pedestal

Each piece is meticulously detailed in our Florida workshop, ensuring every curve and contour meets our exacting standards.
