Description

I am please to offer from my private collection this antique 19th Century Victorian Memento Mori/Mourning Skulls ornated Sterling silver cufflinks set in excellent condition.
Hallmarked. 20X15mm

This is a link to the tradition of the memento mori - an object designed to remind us that life is brief and that we should seize the moment while we are here.

Since the beginning of time,the skull is been used as a symbol of mortality, victory, the ultimate Memento Mori.

The skull represented the contemplation of eternity.

In Elizabethan England, it was an emblem of bawds, rakes and sexual adventure. It’s a symbol men, in particular, have always loved to paint, carve, cast, and wear.

A must for every serious collector or museum.
