    Except this skull is unusable now because skulls are not closed at the bottom and someone seems to have cut off the top.
    Also the “skulls of your enemies” industry usually doesn’t use the whole body. Quite wasteful if you ask me.

      See, you’re only looking at one part of the skeletal recycling economy. Sure, the skull companies only want the skulls, but the rest can be easily sold off to other parts of the industry.

      Even within the skull industry, it’s a constant drip down. If a skull isn’t good for the Skull Throne, you send it out to the Cup people, who might send it to Goblet to decide, and so on.

      The rest of the body, not even just the skeleton, is dispersed amongst these different branches as needed, and whatever isn’t usable directly can always get shipped off to the pig farm.

      It’s quiet a nice, clean system. Wouldn’t you love to be part of such a economic feat?

          The xylophone makers tend to prefer ribcages for the actual instrument, though they do use the femurs for the sticks quite often.

      I’d think the skull is unusable without any processing anyways. Coffee is slightly acidic and bones will dissolve over time. Plus, bones are porous not unlike terra cotta pots. You’d need to glaze the interior or something after you seal the major holes

      They use the rest of the skeleton to make gummy bears.
