Solid Walnut Skull - Vanity, Memento Mori - First Half Of The 20th Century
A carved solid walnut skull, dating from the first half of the 20th century, in the style of vanitas and memento mori works.
The deeply recessed eye sockets, prominent cheekbones, and stylized teeth give this sculpture an expressive presence. Lines engraved on the skull cap evoke cranial sutures and complement the sculptor’s work.
The beautiful waxed patina, with its warm brown hues, highlights the walnut’s grain and the sculpture’s relief details.
A curiosity to display on a bookshelf, a desk, or in a cabinet of curiosities.
A few cracks and marks are visible in the photographs.
