Real medieval Toulousian elongated skull for sale! 

While Peru is the most famous locale for cranial deformation, examples of elongation (both intentional and otherwise) can be found all around the world. 

In this instance, this elongated skull is actually from the Toulouse region of France. It is believed that this region's deformations were a result of "bandeau" - an ancient medical practice that involved tightly binding and padding the head of a baby to protect it from impact shortly after birth. 

This skull was on display at the Prehistoria Museum but has been deaccessioned to raise funds for our operations and renovations.

We can ship this skull worldwide, anywhere ownership of human osteology is legal.

**Please note: We do not take the ownership of human remains lightly, and neither should you. These are not simply "oddities", they were once living people and deserve to be treated with respect and appreciation for what they are and who they were. We have the right to refuse sales to anyone, or any organization, we suspect would not honour these specimens with the dignity they deserve.**
