Trepanation, a practice dating back to ancient times, is depicted in various artworks throughout history. In a 14th-century manuscript called Studio on Saint, an illustration showcases the process of trepanation. Similarly, Ancient Egypt also had representations of this procedure in their artwork. The 14th-century miniature from Mondi's treatise on anatomy displays another depiction of trepanation. The Corbieres cave in Aude houses the Crane Trepane object, which was used for trepanning during that era. Engravings from 1772 show various instruments utilized for skull trepanation. An 18th-century print titled "The Trepanation" captures the essence of this medical intervention. Artists have even portrayed the act of removing rocks from one's head through oil paintings like "Removing the Rocks in the Head" created between 1550-1600 and "Trepanning a Recruit" painted around c. 1790. Medicine has long relied on small bleedings as treatments, as seen in a captivating image where a doctor performs this technique on his patient. Archaeological findings provide evidence of actual skulls subjected to trepanation; one such example is a Danish man's skull dated between 3500-3400 BC. These artistic depictions and historical artifacts shed light on humanity's fascination with and utilization throughout centuries for both medical purposes and spiritual beliefs.
