Measures cm 19x18 – inches 7.49x7.09. It shows the structures of the eye and is hand-painted on the inside and outside with the eye ball being represented in glass. The plaster is very brittle and easily damaged so very few of these models have survived in good condition.
Bock Steger Lips produced models in the second half XIX century in Leipzig (Germany), working their models principally from plaster. Bock Steger made many important teaching plaster models for students and doctors of medicine, and in fact some model by Bock Steger is in the collections of universities, like the eye models in the antique University of Aberdeen (Scotland).
Art of modelling wax for anatomic preparation increased in Bologna during the first half of 1700, in a historical stage when attention was turned to observation and experimental research, and it was alive, in most qualified students, a desire to prefer teaching of scientific subject based on practical demonstration.
Scientific antiques are a kind of antiques that often attract scientific professionals, but also simply who likes to have a rare or particular medical instruments.
