Abstract

Primate A. I. Komorowski wanted his body to be laid in Łowicz and his entrails in Skierniewice. During the anthropological analysis of the skeleton, lesions and marks after the tissue removal were noticed. These observations were confirmed by written documents and iconographical sources. Combined, they formed the basis for the reconstruction of the Primate's face. The extraction of internal organs became the basis for tracing thanatological practices in Poland

Keywords:

Łowicz, Primate A. I. Komorowski, anthropology, thanatological practices, facial reconstruction
