Description

DATE: Georgian, c.1810

This cool Georgian stick pin features an little articulated skeleton... He's cool, creepy and cute all at the same time! His arms and legs move up, down and around like he's doing a little dance. Its modelled gold throughout, remains in lovely antique condition and is a great addition to your collection.

As well as looking badass, the skull/skeleton symbolizes memento mori. The concept of Memento Mori, remember that you will die, has been around since ancient times; indeed, probably for as long as humans have existed. These words have echoed throughout the ages, and serve as a reminder of the transient nature of life. They urge us to reflect on mortality in order to make the most of each moment, to better ourselves, and to fully engage with life.
