Victorian "Memento Mori" Skull Charm
$1,450.00
Description
DATE: Victorian, c.1860
This cool little antique charm is modelled as a skull. Dating from the late Victorian period, circa 1860, it features lovely detailing- from the eye sockets, nose and even teeth! With gold fittings to the top, loop your chain through and add as a part of your charm collection.
As well as looking badass, the skull 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.
