Visual Description:

A replica set of lower teeth used in season two of the television series Tales from the Crypt. The mold is mounted on a smooth, semi-circular white platform about 1.5 inches tall. The yellowed teeth are embedded in a pink resin mold shaped to resemble gums. Three back left teeth are a worn metallic color. 

Guided Tactile Description:   

Begin at the front base of the white platform. Moving up the platform, feel the transition from the platform to the deep pink gums, the material is semi-transparent, allowing the base of each tooth to be faintly visible through it. Moving upward, feel the transition of the gums to the teeth. Move outwards, noticing the texture of the front, back and top of the teeth. The teeth are slightly yellowed, and the last three teeth on the left side of the model are a worn metallic color.
