British artist Damien Hirst used an infant’s skull to create his latest work, “For Heaven’s Sake.” The metal skull is cast in platinum and covered with more than 8,100 diamonds by royal jewellers Bentley & Skinner. Hirst acquired the child’s skull as part of a 19th‑century pathology collection; it is believed to be that of a baby who died at two weeks, The Daily Telegraph reports.
