Description
Post-mortem instruments, including bowel scissors, chisels and a mallet. The post-mortem was introduced in the early 1800s, as a means of determining the cause of death. Post-mortem examinations also informed physicians about the internal anatomy of the human body and the internal effects of disease. These instruments are English and date from around 1850.
