Wandering Albatross Skull
SOLD
Latin: Diomedea exulans
Description: Very large and intricately prepared example of a Wandering Albatross skull.
The early explorers of the great Southern Sea cheered themselves with the companionship of the albatross in their dreary solitudes; and the evil fate of he who shot with his cross-bow the "bird of good omen" is familiar to readers of Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
