Trephination is a procedure that dates to pre-historic times.
It was initially used as a means to release demons from the head, to relieve intercranial pressure, and to facilitate the elevation of depressed skull fragments. The set is complete with all of its original instruments. The trephine has an exceptionally fancy stem and the steel sliding pin mechanism of the crowns is coated in a spectacular bluing. The Hey s saw has a most unusually shaped-head. The handles are made of horn.
