Tooth Belonging to Lisa Kippen. Artist. Tunbridge, Vermont. Ca. 1998, c.e.

This is a bees wax “stand-in” made by the artist. Her front incisor tooth was replaced by a dentist. This incisor was retained by the artist for inclusion if the Main Street Museum collection, but was misplaced. The artist then molded a "stand-in" or substitute from beeswax.

The artist has no dental insurance.
