German bone "Memento Mori" skull - 19th Century
; ; A 'Memento Mori' carved bone Vanitas skull topped by a mouse e flanked by a squirrel and a snake. A vanitas is a symbolic work of art showing the transience of life, the futility of pleasure, and the certainty of death. The skull was the symbol of death from the 1500s onwards; previously death was represented as a skeleton. Skulls were very popular in the Baroque period and were not only an essential part of any Wonderland Room (Wunderkammer), but also acted as contemplative reminders of mortality. Dimensions 4 x 4 x 3 cm. Weight 32 gr. Item condition grading: **** good.
