It's displayed in a dark room with the lighting positioned just so directly on the skull, and it sparkles like crazy. I think it's gorgeous in a strange, luxurious way. Although I don't think I'll be the one to buy it. 11.13.2008
The diamond skull
I saw this exhibit in the Rijksmuseum. It's called, "For the Love of God" by Damien Hirst and it's quite a sight. The skull is made of platinum, with 8,600 diamonds. The big one on the forehead is 52 carats.
