All I have is an original pic of the resin skull. There are two kinds offered on eBay from somewhere in China. This one, with the moving jaw and antique glazing, and another simpler one-piece with no antiquing. They're from the same cast of a real skull that looks just a tad smaller than average.

I use air-hardening clay that stays pliable for hours. Mixed it with black and brown paint and filled the eyes and added the nose, and the cowrie shells. Colors are all mixed variables of off-white, yellow ochre, brown, black. Tried for all earth tones.

Long way to go yet.
