Rostrum of a sawfish (also saw ray) with 60 teeth. The saw is separated from the animal's skull.
The rostrum, together with another sawfish tooth, comes from the Ulm Kronenapotheke, whose furnishings and laboratory were donated to the Gewerbemuseum Ulm in 1901 by the pharmacist and then museum director Gustav Leube.
The exact origin of the rostrums is not known.
The study of plants, animals and minerals had been part of the everyday work of European pharmacists since the early modern period. Many pharmacists set up extensive cabinets of naturalia, which were not only used for medical and pharmaceutical research, but also for comparative natural history studies and for collecting and storing.
Exotic animals and plants from the collections also served as typical decorative objects that adorned the ceilings and walls of pharmacies. The rostrums were also exhibited in this form in the Gewerbemuseum with the furnishings of the Kronenapotheke.
