This next video in the India Unboxed film series brings us face to face with the skull of a monkey who lived and died in the mountains of what is now Nagaland, in northeast India.

Now at the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Cambridge, it has travelled great distances, had several owners, and undergone a number of transformations.


India Unboxed is a year-long celebration across the University and city of Cambridge to mark the UK–India Year of Culture 2017.
