This old skullcap of a monitor from the island of Flores is a special rarity. Engraved are stylistically reduced: a human face, two monitor lizards, a turtle (whose head points downwards) and various ornaments. It is about around the ritual object of an animistic cult, size approx. 27 cm. The Komodo dragon is the largest lizard still alive today, can grow up to three meters tall and is only found on a few east Indonesian islands such as Komodo and Flores.
