Skull carved in buffalo bone with Skull and Crossbones
Memento Mori on stand
Carved skull made of buffalo bone with skull and crossbones
The wooden base is new, as is the carved skull BUT the part supporting the carved skull comes from an old 19th-century crucifix, and bears a smiling metal skull with crossed bones that is original to the crucifix.
Crossbone skull
Memento mori: a latin expression meaning "remember that you will die". Created to remind proud and greedy men of their mortality, these skulls are carved from bon. In Indonesia, the cult of the dead is a festive tradition, which allows them to honour their ancestors.
All memento Moris are different, so the photos are not contractual.
