The Ophthalmophantome or ‘Eye Phantom’ is so difficult to find that you rarely see these come up for sale. Most are in museums or in private collections. This is why after finding the most recent phantom we professionally had a mold made to document and preserve these hard to find objects of study.

The intent wasn’t to make an edition of these, but was more a labor of love and realizing that it has taken me well over a decade to get one in the shop . I have found three different ones in all of my searches but this one is the most sought after model from the 1880’s or Augustan style bust by John Reynders & Co.

The original was a very interesting example as it was an un-tooled casting so the phantom was still in process of assembly.
