Apparatus, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for installing
an artificial eye in a realistic, life-like sculpture, comprising an artificial
eye of partially hemispherical shape, as well as a manikin with an eye-mounting
area adapted to mate with such an artificial eye without risk of subsequent movement
of the eye or of distortion of the features surrounding the eye-mounting area of
the sculpture. Eye mounting pieces for retrofitting existing sculptures having
conventional eye mounting areas to permit the accurate and life-like mounting of
artificial eyes are also provided.
