Crystal Skull (British Museum)

The British Museum holds a crystal skull of dubious provenance, acquired in 1897. Indiana Jones once saw it and later remarked it had "interesting craftsmanship, but that's about it."

Behind the scenes
Analysis of the British Museum's crystal skull indicates it was probably produced in the 19th century, using techniques unavailable to the ancient Mesoamericans originally purported to have crafted it.
