Ivory plaque showing a dissection scene in ebony frame, Euro. The plaque depicts an anatomical dissection scene. The scene shows four men in wigs and fine clothes watching another man perform the dissection. Such dissections were often observed by an audience because cadavers were in short supply and not every student could perform their own dissections. Contributors: Science Museum, London.
