Ceramic Bison Skull

I know that skulls are all the rage these days, but I’ve been intrigued by them all my life. I remember assembling a plastic human skull with my dad as a kid and having to keep it in the toy box at night because it glowed in the dark and freaked me out. This bison skull is made with ceramic clay that was burnished with a spoon and bisque fired. The horns were bisque fired with terra sigulata and then sagger fired to make them black.
