Taxidermy mannikin mold for locating eyepieces in correct position

A mold apparatus for forming a taxidermy animal head mannikin with artificial eyepieces molded therein in proper anatomical position, comprising:

• a pair of mold cavity half parts, each of the half parts having:
• a cavity surface contoured for correct anatomical formation of the features of the half of the mannikin;
• at least one artificial eyepiece;
• an eye socket recess in the cavity surface shaped for snugly receiving the front portion of the artificial eyepiece and leaving the rear portion projecting into the mold cavity;
• and
• a small keyway selectively located in the eye socket recess to receive a mating key which is affixed to the front portion of the artificial eyepiece using a cleanable glue and is positioned thereon so that placement of the key in the keyway locates the eyepiece in proper anatomical position prior to the introduction of liquid foamable hardenable material into the cavity between the mold half parts.
