notes: label: Description
content: This papier mache model of a human embryo was made the Auzoux factory in Normandy, France. The embryo is seen from the anterior end, with a portion of the right side removed to show the vertebral segments and the arteries. The eye appears as a spot, shown on the left side of the head. The Smithsonian bought this in 1895, and probably made the round wood base.
