Skull Sizes, Clay Allowances & Finished Baby Scale
(Pricing Included)
IMPORTANT:
All measurements listed below refer to head circumference, measured around the skull. Finished baby length is an approximate proportional estimate based on common infant scaling, where a ~14” head circumference corresponds to an approximately ~20” finished baby. Final size may vary slightly depending on sculpting style, facial fullness, and body proportions.

Additional Notes:
Finished baby size will vary slightly depending on sculpting style, facial fullness, and body proportions. Mini and micro sizes require restrained clay application to maintain realistic proportions.
The Filigree Skull™ is intended to provide a stable, thoughtfully scaled foundation so sculptors can focus on artistry, expression, and refinement throughout the sculpting process.
