# Steampunk Primate Craniums The Lisa Black Vervet Monkey Skull is Spine Chilling By Luisa Amanda Gomes | Published 2010-03-25 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lisa-black-vervet-monkey-skull References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Departed-Vervet-Half-Skull/457143) The Lisa Black vervet monkey skull can either be viewed as your worst nightmare or an intricate work of art. I am partial to the latter. Taking [antique clock and watch parts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bell-ross-br03-skeleton), then adding them to the smooth skull of a vervet monkey, Black created this interesting work of art. For anyone who enjoys taxidermy, [steampunk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steampunk-nautilus) or [creepy décor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deddy-bears), the Lisa Black vervet monkey skull is a must! I can totally imagine this skull on my coffee table because it would be such a great conversation starter.
