Memento Mori : Latin locution meaning "Remember that you will die".
In order to remind proud and power-hungry men of their common fatal fate: death.
During the triumph of a Roman general, the slave on the chariot holding the laurel wreath said the famous phrase reminding him of his condition of mere mortal: "Memento mori". In order to remind him to keep his feet on the ground...
Another variant: Hominem te esse: You too are only a man.
Material: Carved antler - Blackened wood base
Total height: 9.5cm Diameter of the base: 3.8cm
All the memento mori are slightly different in terms of size, shape and colour, because they are made by hand from a natural material
