Model of a human brain, sectioned, French, first half 19th century.

The model shows a sectioned human brain made from papier mâché. The parts can be removed to show the internal structure of the brain. Each is labelled with a number and some of the parts have the name of the section printed in French. This model was used as an aid to teach anatomy.
