Description: Dodo casts, c. 1800. Willet collected natural history specimens throughout his life and was a long-serving member of the Brighton Museum (as distinct from the Fine Art) Committee. These pieces are plaster casts of the head and foot of one of the last Dodos from Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. These friendly, flightless birds, called duodo (stupid) by the Portuguese, were extinct by 1681. Donated by Henry Willett, 1884. Booth Museum
