        .................................

This terracotta teaching model shows a dead fetus at term still inside the uterus. The back is hyperextended and the head deformed by a previous engagement in the pelvic canal. The right limb is amputated at knee level, probably because of instrument manipulations. The model was commissioned by Giuseppe Galletti.
