Yorick Skull With Latin Inscription

Yorick Skull with Latin Inscription This is not your everyday run of the mill skull piece. Note the intense realism, accuracy, & attention to detail based upon our study of actual human skulls. We are classically trained artists & what sets this apart are the countless hours & many years of careful studying of human anatomy in the manner of the old masters that went into our skull pieces. A timeless classic design. Inscribed 'Aeternitatem Respice' across the back of the skull, meaning 'look upon eternity'. This would look amazing displayed on a table, shelves or desk atop a stack of books as a Memento Mori as did the scholars & philosophers of old. Throughout history skull symbolism can be seen everywhere from Shakespeare to Day of the Dead to Pirate lore to Memento Mori. The symbolism of the skull carries dichotomous meanings including life, death, honoring the dead, remembering to live mindfully, protection, transformation & regeneration as well as a symbol of life after death, rebirth, & immortality. Dimensions: 1.65 in tall x 2.5 in long. The steel has a portion of bronze mixed in, so each piece can vary in color from silver to more golden bronze colored. Production time for this item is about 2 weeks to make for you. One of our passions is giving back, so we will be donating personal hygiene items to a local women's shelter for each purchase on our store. Thank you for helping us make a difference!
